Residents of Borovje in Zagreb have protested against plans to build new residential buildings on green land near the street of I. Gardijske Brigade Tigrovi. The initiative 'Stop Betonizaciji Borovja' submitted over 1,000 signatures opposing the construction, arguing that the area has already been heavily developed and that this project would destroy the last remaining green space. During a press conference, Alka Vuica, a singer and member of the initiative, was verbally confronted by an employee of the City Office for Economy, Ecological Sustainability, and Strategic Planning, who criticized her for building a pool on her property while advocating for green spaces. The initiative demands environmental impact assessments and proper infrastructure planning before any further steps are taken. They argue that the proposed development could lead to the extinction of rare protected species nearby and exacerbate existing issues like overcrowded schools and limited access to the neighborhood.
