The Green Left Front warns that the underground passage on Zeleni venc, Belgrade's most important traffic and pedestrian hub, is prone to collapse, and the City is not reacting
You enter at your own risk, and similar signs were posted today by the Green Left Front, in order to draw the attention of the authorities that the underground passage on Belgrade's Green Ring is unsafe.
"Our action today is not just a protest - for us it is an act of responsibility", states the ZLF, demanding that the competent city services urgently carry out an "independent, expert construction safety assessment", inform the public about the real condition and risks of using the Zeleni venac passage and take urgent rehabilitation measures, before a tragedy occurs.
"Citizens of Belgrade are not looking for luxury. We are looking for basic safety in the public spaces we use every day," said ZLF councilors.
The underpass is falling apart.
Zeleni venac is one of the most important pedestrian corridors in the capital, yet it is one of the least safe points for Belgrade pedestrians. The underground pedestrian passage that is located under one of the most active roads in the city is literally falling apart in front of the eyes and above the heads of tens of thousands of passers-by who pass through this vital city hub for as many as 16 public transport lines every day.
ZLF emphasizes that the passage is used by tens of thousands of people every day, and the busiest traffic route operates above it - between the Terazij tunnel and Branko bridge and that Zeleni venac is the terminus for 16 city transport lines, ZLF states that it is one of the "most important traffic hubs of the capital".
It has already been renovated.
"Although the pedestrian passage was officially renovated in 2022, the works carried out that were financed by the city were only superficial, without serious rehabilitation and without an assessment of the structure. In August of last year, a part of the bus interchange was reconstructed, but the canopy and the underground passage were not on the list of objects to be renovated," states ZLF.
Despite numerous warnings, the city services did not respond adequately - they did not secure the space and warn the citizens of the real risk, ZLF councilors point out.

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
