Citizens of New Belgrade blocks plan to unite in the fight against investor urbanism, which turns green areas into residential and business complexes of huge square footage.

Tenants of Novobeograd blocks who oppose the construction of a residential-business complex in Block 63, which according to their claims will destroy the green area, gathered today at the place where the construction site is planned.

They set up a stand where they are collecting signatures for a petition against the construction of buildings in Novi Beograd blocks, they also plan to establish a citizens' association that will exclusively deal with legal issues related to urban planning projects in blocks 61, 62, 63 and 64.

Today's rally is secured by inspectors of public order and peace and it proceeds without incident.

At Bežanijska kosa, tomorrow from 19 pm, a meeting of tenants who are against the construction of a residential and business complex will be held and a 120-meter skyscraper, and that project, according to their claims, will destroy green areas and sports fields.

Great Civil Revolt

Member of the Green-Left Front and the Provisional Authority of Belgrade Dobrica Veselinović zand "Vreme" said earlier that these protests are part of "a great rebellion against investor urbanism that the SNS and SPS government has been carrying out for years and that is happening all over Belgrade."

"Citizen protests are raging from Bežaniska kosa and blocks, to Zvezdara, Borča...", Veselinović said, and that this kind of development in the city has led to hours of standing in traffic jams, to no places in kindergartens for children, to homes health is falling apart, that the city is among the most polluted in the world, and all for the sake of the profit of a small number of people close to the authorities".

The Center for Local Self-Government (CLS) believes that the construction of a 10-story building where it does not belong would continue the occupation of green areas in open blocks in New Belgrade, thereby further reducing the quality of life of the citizens of New Belgrade.

Citizens must fight against investor urbanism, because New Belgrade must have facilities that make it another city center, and not make a mockery out of it and once again become the "bedroom of Belgrade", according to CLS.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
