An action plan for evacuating the illegal Roma encampment below the Gazela will be signed by the end of the week, says Belgrade Deputy Mayor Milan Krkobabic. Implementation of the action plan is expected by Aug. 31 at the latest, he added. Krkobabic said, speaking to B92, that 114 families from the neighborhood would receive new accommodation, while the rest fell under jurisdiction of the government and the local communities they came from. Action plan for Roma encampment The mayor explained that the problem would be resolved according to models from European cities, in order not to create another slum quarter, as inhabitants would instead be given new accommodation in different locations in Belgrade. “This is the beginning. But to separate these two things, these people have to move out, they have to be socialized, the children have to go to school and they have to get jobs. But Belgrade citizens also have to be aware of the fact that they cannot resist and prevent citizens of that socially destitute encampment under the Gazela Bridge from coming to their neighborhoods,” he said. He added that such discrimination “can no longer be tolerated.” “This city administration will not tolerate that. Which means that Belgrade neighborhoods will no longer be entitled to say they don’t want them to come here or there. All Belgrade citizens are equal under this administration and have equal rights, but also equal obligations,” Krkobabic underlined.
