Member coalitions We must architect Dragoljub Bakić said that Rio Tinto is not thinking of leaving Serbia for now, but that he thinks environmental activists will win that war.
Bakić announced the radicalization of the previous "sitting quietly and looking at the white, because we are no longer sheep" and stated that the citizens "must take matters into their own hands". He stressed that civil disobedience means new blockades because it has been shown that "some successful things" have been done with Rio Tinto.
On the occasion of the Day of Wetlands, Bakić said that the city authorities do not think that the "Reva" pond should be preserved and that they still plan to fill it up and make it an industrial zone. He also said that because of this, objections were submitted, but that the city government turned a deaf ear to them and that the Moramo coalition will probably engage in new protests and civil disobedience "because it seems that the greedy Belgrade government only understands that language."
Bakić often spoke about "urban terrorism". In an interview for "Vreme", he once said that since 2012 there has been no public interest in Belgrade, that it is dead, and that "there is only rampant government, despotism that can be seen in all spheres of life. And perhaps this profession of mine and urban planning have shown it most nakedly".
