The CEOs of Monteput and Jugopetrol, Milan Ljiljanić and Vasilis Panagopoulos, signed a 25-year lease agreement for roadside land at the Gornje Mrke rest area on the Bar-Boljare highway. Under this agreement, Jugopetrol will invest in building a new gas station with accompanying facilities.
The lease requires an annual payment of €42,210 (excluding VAT) plus one cent per liter of fuel sold at the station. The planned facility will include a gas station, a café with indoor and terrace seating, public amenities such as a water fountain, sanitary facilities, first aid, an information center, a spare parts store, and a tourist information point. Additional features include staff accommodations, inspection and police service rooms, storage for tools and materials, fueling points, green areas, and a waste disposal site.
Jugopetrol was selected as the lessee following a public tender, with their offer meeting all requirements. The company has submitted the necessary documentation for the building permit and chosen a contractor. Construction is expected to begin soon, with a completion deadline of 12 months from the contractor’s start date.
