In addition to warning the professional public that no construction should be done in Makiško polje, because that would endanger Belgrade’s largest water source, the Belgrade Urban Institute also warns of potential risks. Despite that, the city government did not show that document to the public. And that they did not give up on the Makiš urbanization, as evidenced by the fact that the City Assembly made the decision on Tuesday to build the largest residential and commercial complex and the metro homepage at that location.
A crime against the largest water well in Belgrade: this is how the expert public evaluates the decision of the city government on the Makiško polje development. In that place, as announced, the subway exit station will be built, as well as 10,000 apartments. The Belgrade Urban Institute warns that such work is risky. The risk assessment study states that the construction could be negative and with unknown consequences.
“It is scandalous that the city leaders, especially Goran Vesić, de facto concealed the report of the urban planning institute that warns that the massive urbanization in Makiško polje could endanger the supply of drinking water to the inhabitants of Belgrade and cover it all with the story that the essence is the construction of the subway. ” private investor linked to the so-called. Tesla is a city, “says Nikola Jovanović of the Center for Local Self-Government.
It is unknown why city leaders did not show citizens the document indicating the risks of construction in Makiš and why the city assembly, despite that, adopted the construction plan. Because Deputy Mayor Goran Vesić now, as per usual practice, did not answer that question for H1.
However, the first man of the city was not immune to the urbanization of Makiško polje, who on that occasion, after a long silence, turned to experts who warn of the risks.
“Well, it seems to me that they are more bothered by the start of construction of the subway and the station of the new subway line, that is, the first subway line, and then the second,” said Zoran Radojicic.
RTS: And that endangers the water source?
“Well, it doesn’t compromise,” he states.
Belgrade’s water supply system also indicates that the citizens of Belgrade will not be left without healthy drinking water. However, they did not answer for H1 on the basis of what they claim, nor did they answer a study on the construction risk assessment in Makiško polje.
“Construction has always been planned in that protection zone, respecting strict protection measures.” “Makiško polje belongs to the ‘Zone III’ of sanitary protection, which means that in that zone there are no water intake facilities in open streams, rain wells or tube wells for pumping groundwater,” they state in the announcement.
Architect Dragoljub Bakić assesses the city’s waterworks claims as lump sums. It says that the urbanization of the Belgrade water source is not allowed by law and that it could become an ecological pump.
“We shouldn’t play with groundwater, especially where there are new wells and factories for water production. Belgrade is one of the few capitals in Europe where you can drink healthy water from the source, one of the few, and now they are putting it at risk, to create there some megastructures and some miracles, and therefore the metro, which is crazy “., emphasizes Bakić.
Construction of the initial subway station, according to announcements by city leaders, should begin in 2021. Data shows that the residential and commercial complex will occupy 700 hectares of public space, making the sanitary protection zone narrow of Makiški vodoizvorište, but for now it is not known when the works will begin. which treasury will be financed.
