You better hope it's not in this creepy downtown location.

A local newspaper has reported that a piece of land in central Zagreb, near the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (FER), is being used as a dumping ground for waste. The location, known as Plitvička 8, is just three minutes' walk from Koturaška street, one of the more neglected areas in the city center. According to the report, this site is part of a larger plot in the area of Trnje, with a cadastral number of 678, and is registered under the name of a physical person who is also listed as a member of the company K.K.D. Projekti d.o.o. The site is located on the edge of a green BoxNow package machine, which serves as a point of access for residents collecting their mail. However, the surrounding area is littered with discarded items such as old toilet seats, broken sanitary fixtures, rusted metal parts, old windows, outdated furniture, and dusty electronics. Some of these items have already been moved onto the sidewalk, forcing users of the package machine to collect their packages alongside trash bins, pieces of wood, and other debris that have been brought into public space. This location is not hidden away in the outskirts of the city. It lies along Plitvička street, which runs adjacent to the FER building and extends towards the busy Vukovar Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Zagreb. Nearby are the HEP headquarters, commercial buildings, student routes, and daily pedestrians. This makes the disused parcel appear less like a forgotten peripheral zone and more like a gap within the ordered fabric of the urban landscape. Unlike Koturaška street, which was previously highlighted as a neglected area, this new location is still within the broader city center. Both locations share similar characteristics, both are plots of land that, according to publicly available records, have registered owners. In both cases, the parcels appear to have been left to decay over time, with informal accumulation of waste and gradual neglect of public space. According to Google Street View images, there have been no visible signs of residential activity on this site since at least 2022. While the house number, once associated with Plitvička 8, is no longer recorded in the cadastral data, the plot itself remains registered under the jurisdiction of Trnje. The plot is owned by the same individual who is also listed as a member of the company K.K.D. Projekti d.o.o., which is registered for activities including architectural design, construction supervision, real estate trading, property management, and maintenance services. According to the same cadastral records, the same individual also owns a neighboring plot, one facing Plitvička street and another facing the parallel Kupsko street. Together, these two plots cover a total area of 671 square meters. Following the earlier issue with Koturaška street, the City of Zagreb responded by stating that its municipal authorities regularly inspect problematic areas, issue notices, and initiate procedures when conditions allow. The State Inspectorate has also directed certain aspects of the rubble and waste to the municipal authority. We have again sent inquiries to the relevant departments, this time with a specific address, and we will publish their response upon receipt.
