Citizens of the lower part of Dorćol who are protesting because of construction of Marina Dorćol they spoke with a Czech investor. They are worried due to soil analysis, which indicate that the soil under the Marina Dorćol plot contains elevated levels of metals and traces of oil, and that these substances could endanger people's health during construction work.
"Existing analyzes are available to the public, and we will be happy to share the results of new analyzes that are underway with interested citizens at the next meetings," said Sebre CEO Tomas Klima.
He also said that "Marina Dorćol is a former industrial zone over which the railway crossed", and that in such places it is common for substances resulting from industrial production to be present.
"However, a study by the Institute of Public Health in Belgrade showed that in places where there is an elevated level of inorganic substances, these values are significantly below the level that requires soil remediation," Klima said.
He added that the Sebre company has continuous communication with experts from the Institute for Public Health and that this institution conducts analyzes to ensure the safe implementation of the Marina Dorćol project.
Dust and noise
Citizens submitted a petition to the investor, demanding that the parking lot issue be resolved due to the fencing of the plot occupied by the construction site of the Sebre company, where neighbors have parked their cars for years.
"Whatever happens to our company, we will do," Klima promised. "We are aware of the fact that construction works disrupt the habits of residents in buildings near the construction site, and we want to solve the problems of the settlement together with them," he said.
The head of the construction site, Siniša Slavić, pointed out that the general contractor, the Austrian company Štrabag, is doing everything to ensure that the functioning of the construction site disrupts the daily life of people in its vicinity as little as possible.
"The territory of the construction site is constantly getting wet due to the rise of dust, the soil that is manipulated inside the construction site is covered with special protection... a new fence around the construction site is in progress, which will provide citizens with additional protection from dust and noise," said Slavić.
Protection of surrounding streets and facades
When asked by citizens how the contractor and investor will be determined in the future regarding the issue of using the underpass in Dubrovnik for the removal of materials, Klima indicated that discussions are being held with the authorities about opening new routes for the removal of materials.
"We are talking with the competent authorities on how to solve the issue and I hope we will be able to find appropriate solutions," Klima said.
He added that all measures are being taken to protect the streets and surrounding facades, as well as common rooms inside the buildings, so that all possible damage is recorded and repaired.
"We are a Czech company that built the most complex projects in Prague, and today we are developing such projects in the center of London. We care very much about applying all the standards that we applied in the EU and Great Britain to Serbia," explained Klima.
