The first phase of the construction of the promenade includes works on the stretch from Sastavaki to Labud beach, with a total length of about 400 meters.
The width of the trail is 2.40 meters with three extensions in the form of small squares, places for gathering and resting, and there are four access points to the promenade (under the Blaž Jovanović Bridge, from Njegoš Park from the position where the fountain is located, direction Njegošev Park – Suspension Bridge and from the beach Labud).
Milena Latković, on behalf of the Office of the Chief City Architect, pointed out that the chosen solution best shows the connection between the city and the river, and the citizens and visitors of Podgorica will be provided with a new, unique space for rest and recreation.
The engineer of landscape architecture of the company Zelenilo, Snezana Laban, said that the project of landscaping envisages the revitalization of Njegos Park with an emphasis on preserving its identity.
“Njegos Park is the first green area in Podgorica. During the design, two main motifs in the park were recognized – Njegoš’s monument and fountain, as well as valuable vegetation that will be preserved. The construction of a pavilion or summer house is planned in the park, as well as an amphitheater with a view of Morača, and the adaptation of a fountain with a bio-lake. In addition, park furniture is planned, such as park benches, swings for adults, trash cans, new public lighting, a new hydro system and table tennis tables, ”concluded Laban.

“Everyone present tonight reacted positively to what will be the future appearance of Njegoš Park and the promenade along Morača, and the Capital will continue to listen to the needs of citizens with the goal of making Podgorica a city tailored to each of its inhabitants,” the Podgorica administration concluded.
