People posing as natives of Mirijeve cut down 20 healthy trees of the Bajdina forest, probably thinking that if there is no forest, there will be no rebellious citizens against its concreting
Tomorrow's vote in the City Assembly on the plan based on which the Bajdin forest would be cut down has been cancelled. The residents of Mirijevo and activists saw it as a small victory
The decision on the fate of the wild Bajdina forest in the Belgrade suburb of Mirijevo has been postponed. At the third continuation of the session on Thursday, two sides confronted each other - the owners of plots who want construction, and the fighters for the preservation of the forest, which should be arranged as a park.
In the area of the Bajdina settlement in Mirijevo, the Detailed Regulation Plan envisages the felling of 66 hectares of forest due to the construction of residential and business facilities for 15.000 people.
In Mirijevo, new buildings are mostly pushed together, there is no parking, no sidewalks. Now, a twelve-story building is being built on a green area almost as big as the Star Forest near the "Pavle Savić" elementary school, warns the citizens' association "Mirijevo zeleno i zdrovo". And sports fields were planned
