Savamala

Protesters in the Serbian capital led by the campaign group "Let's not drown Belgrade" marched from the Savamala district to the Belgrade city assembly to mark the third anniversary of the April 2016 demolitions, when bulldozers and masked men tore down buildings in the riverside district by night.

Serbia's "Let's not drown Belgrade" civic movement - which was set up to oppose the Belgrade Waterfront construction project - has condemned the decision to allow a policeman to reach a plea bargain with the prosecution over responsibility for controversial demolitions in the city's Savamala district.

"This is very bad for refugees. This place helped me a lot when I came to Serbia," Arman, 23-year-old refugee from Afghanistan said as construction workers razed part of Miksaliste, an aid centre in Belgrade that offers food and other supplies to refugees from the Middle East.
