Unfavorable economic situation and complicated procedure of getting building permit for building a home were
the starting point of building informal housing construction”. It was a case especially with citizens who, for reason
of economic migrations, moved from North of Montenegro to Podgorica. As for informal construction, well known

emerging mainly in the city centre.
