Old Palace - City of Belgrade (BETAPHOTO/ANA SLOVIC)
Members of several non-governmental organizations and citizen associations on June 20 placed a large number of printed messages addressed to Belgrade Mayor Aleksandar Sapic outside the City Assembly building ahead of a session discussing the city budget.
The messages were left outside the building in Kralja Milana Street, where the session will be held, as part of the drive titled “Write a message to Sapic,” marking his one year in office.
Some of the messages addressed to Sapic read: “You’ve been building illegally and holding office illegally,” “Sapic, hands off the kindergartens,” “Stop construction of tycoon neighborhoods,” “New rainfall, new flooding,” “Stop demolition of the Belgrade Fair,” “The air is poisoned despite highest heating prices.”
The activists also brought a one-meter long banner saying “Stop appropriation of the Sava River Embankment.” Oliver Ilic, a representative of citizen association “The Sava River Embankment” told reporters that they had gathered to protest against Sapic’s illegal drilling and digging through the Sava River embankment in New Belgrade, adding that they had filed several complaints against the Belgrade mayor.
