Ada Bojana: protest announced for April 21 over planned demolition of cottages

Tensions have escalated at Ada Bojana over structures located along the banks of the Bojana River. The Ada Bojana Association announced that it would hold a protest on 21 April 2026 in response to the planned demolition of cottages. According to the published statement, the protest is scheduled for 08:30 at the widening near the bridge, in front of the restaurant at Ada Bojana.

In its statement, the Association said the protest was triggered by an announcement from the communal police, allegedly acting on the order of JP Morsko dobro. The Association also claimed that the cottages in question had previously been taken from earlier owners through a tender procedure. In the public record currently available, that point appears as the Association’s stated position rather than as a separately verified judicial finding.

At the same time, another report shows that the conflict also has a formal administrative basis. According to Vijesti, the Secretariat for Communal Supervision and Inspection Affairs of the Municipality of Ulcinj issued 11 final removal orders for illegally built cottages on the banks of the Bojana, and enforcement is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, 21 April. The same report says the physical removal will be carried out by a company engaged by Morsko dobro through a tender procedure.

According to the same source, these are not the only enforcement cases in the maritime domain zone. Morsko dobro said there are 24 enforceable removal orders in total for structures in the maritime domain area, of which 22 were issued by the competent Ulcinj municipal secretariat and 2 relate to the territory of the Municipality of Bar. The public enterprise also stated that it does not issue removal orders itself, but acts within its statutory competence and on the basis of information from the relevant inspection authorities.

In practical terms, this means that the Ada Bojana dispute has moved beyond a general controversy and into the stage of imminent enforcement. For property owners and everyone following the coastal real estate market, this is a significant signal: once a case reaches the stage of a final removal order, the issue stops being merely theoretical and becomes an urgent legal and factual matter. This last point is an editorial inference based on the publicly available reports
