Veselin Vesko Barović

Veselin Vesko Barović is a businessman from Podgorica who has been in the news for his ongoing efforts to legalize the Vila Manojlović located on Slovenska Plaža. After a previous attempt at legalizing the property was halted by the Budva Municipality seven years ago, Barović submitted a new request to the municipal Secretary for Urbanism and Sustainable Development in July. His business interests in the villa, which has a storied past as a former summer retreat for medical students, have drawn scrutiny regarding the legitimacy of its privatization and construction status.
