Corruption in Spatial Planning and Development PREFACE Looking globally, the overall turnover in the construction industry is 3,200 billion dollars a year, which makes it very attractive for the organized crime structures. As for Montenegro, public largely fears that the money taken out of the country during the transition process is coming back and is laundered through construction of objects by the transition —winners“. That is at the same time the reason why those who dare speak about corruption in the construction industry are very rare. During the last years, construction of residential/business objects in Montenegro has been in expansion: multi-storey buildings are mainly constructed without construction license or inspection certificate, while space and environment are illegally destroyed. In the ecological state whose main developmental strategy is tourism, illegal construction significantly reduces tourist potentials and impedes their full development. The official data are not published, but it is estimated that in the last decade around 80% of objects have been illegally built. As a rule, market in the construction industry does not represent a regulatory mechanism that enables quality.
