Lidl has bought a nearly 9,000 square meter plot in the center of Berane for almost two million euros and plans to demolish existing market stalls and shops on September 1st. Owners and tenants who have been there for decades are helplessly watching their spaces being taken away. The Berane municipality has clearly stated that there will be no postponements of the demolition, and entrepreneurs have no choice but to move out. The first payment of one million euros has already been received by the municipality, with the rest to come after the removal of the objects and land repurposing. This situation is causing outrage among local entrepreneurs who are losing their workplaces and livelihoods due to the arrival of the German giant Lidl. Is this development or destruction of the local economy? Berane is changing, but at what cost? If you have something to say about this chaos, feel free to drop a comment – maybe your word will change something!
