On the eve of the start of the Belgrade Assembly session, opponents of the construction of the metro in Makiško polje staged a protest and security and police prevented a group of citizens from entering the hall with the councilors. While numerous citizen groups, political parties and the professional public believe that construction in Makiš will pose a serious risk to that water source, Deputy Mayor Goran Vesić says that there is an organized political mob behind everything that wants to prevent the construction of the meter.
They came to ask the city authorities: What is happening to our water?
The battle for Makiško polje was fought on another field. The security and communal police built a dam at the entrance, and the police brigade observed the situation from the corridor, while the councilors in the corridor quickly and officially decided that in the future residential, commercial squares and subway lines would emerge in Makiš.
The majority of those gathered demanded that, as they say, the illegitimate session be interrupted, that Makiš’s new plan be removed from the agenda and that the public debate on that issue be repeated when the epidemiological situation allows the presence of the public.
“There is another attack on something that should not be touched: a water source without investment of two billion euros and all that it entails,” they say.
And in a completely different atmosphere, the city planner Marko Stojčić first explained to the councilors that the study was done seriously and that the new plan for Makiš does not endanger Belgrade’s water supply.
Later, Deputy Mayor Goran Vesić concluded that the protest was a mask of the opposition’s intentions to prevent the construction of the subway, since, as he said, the previous government did not even manage to get that project underway.
“And in 2028, Belgrade will have a metro and then we will see who was against it. There are people who came from Novi Sad, from Aleksinac, eeej he will speak from Novi Sad if we need a metro or not, it is an organized political mob. of how to stop the construction of anything in Belgrade, “Vesic said.
After these words, 61 councilors voted in favor and only two objected. Regardless of that outcome, the Citizens’ Association Battle for Kosutnjak says the battle for Makiško polje continues to move into the legal arena.
“We will also ask for help from international institutions, we will inform all financial institutions, they will not be able to provide credit funds because the statutes of these institutions clearly establish that a project adopted in a corrupt way like this must not be financed with money from the taxpayers of the EU “, they say.
By the way, among numerous criticisms, we note that the Urban Institute of the City of Belgrade warned about the risks of construction in Makiško polje, and the dean of the Faculty of Chemistry said today that the city government was wrong. We are in the water again, but what will dry up and something will dry up in Belgrade?
