UPDATE: The Glavni grad municipal inspection has ordered the removal of protest tents in Botun by Tuesday, following escalating tensions over the construction of a new water treatment facility. Local residents erected the tents on November 14, demanding a referendum to halt construction until December 14.
This marks the third visit by municipal authorities to the site, where the community has voiced their objections. Despite two previous orders for tent removal, residents reestablished their protest after dismantling the initial structures. The latest inspection report indicates that three tents must be removed within two days from the date of issuance.
Local authorities are enforcing the removal amidst ongoing construction activities, with heavy machinery already present at the site. The community’s resolve remains strong, as they continue to fight for their right to a referendum.
The situation is fluid, and further developments are expected as the deadline approaches. Residents are determined to make their voices heard, emphasizing the importance of community input in local governance.
Stay tuned for real-time updates as this story unfolds.
