Belgrade Land Grab: Opposition Party Exposes Shady Deals

Belgrade Land Deals Under Scrutiny: SSP Raises Concerns Over Lack of Transparency Belgrade, Serbia – The Stranka Slobode i Pravde (SSP), a Serbian political party, has raised serious concerns about the allocation of urban land in Belgrade. In a recent press conference, SSP members criticized the city's practice of giving away land to investors without a comprehensive urban plan, claiming the process lacks transparency and accountability. "This is unprecedented," stated Dušan Nikezić, an SSP member, during the press conference. "No European city would do this." Nikezić pointed to a specific instance where a large area was given to a single investor, questioning the fairness and legality of the deal. Ana Godevac, another SSP representative, echoed these concerns, emphasizing the lack of a general plan for urban development. "We are waiting for Belgrade to be swallowed up by the water," she stated, implying that development is occurring without regard for long-term planning. The SSP's allegations have sparked a debate about the city's urban planning policies and the need for greater transparency in land allocation. Their concerns highlight the potential for corruption and the importance of responsible urban development.
