„The building construction started in 1989. The same year the applications were submitted for the apartments. The constructioin came soon to a halt, to be continued further in 2001 and was finished in 2002. Numerous apartments turned out to have more than one owner. Several disputes are waiting to be solved by the supreme court of Montenegro, the reason why nobody has moved into the finished building yet.“ (Irena Lagator, 2002)
