Some Citizens of Belgrade Will Be Forced to Move Due to the Subway Project, Valuers to Go on the Site First – Demolition of Staklenac Building Also Planned

For some citizens of Belgrade, the subway is not just a dream of better transportation, but also means having to move. Those who live at the stations of the future subway simultaneously fear and hope. The valuers claim that it is known precisely how much each area of land and each facility cost.

In Milorada Jovanovica Street in Cukarica, a tunnel boring machine will go underground. Twenty families will have to move, which is the biggest displacement on the future route of the first subway line.

Milorad Savic says that those are mostly illegally raised buildings and that some of them have been told to address the institution in charge in 27. marta Street.

– Those who went were told that demolition would take place – said Savic.

A total of around 80 facilities are to be demolished, primarily due to the construction of the stations. One of them is in the zone of the sugar factory, and the Staklenac building on the Republic Square is to be torn down too.

The director of the PUE Beogradski metro i voz, Andreja Mladenovic, says that the station would be built for two to three years, depending on the complexity. He notes that the station has to be built before the tunnel is bored through.

– We tried to avoid the removal of residential facilities and those locations where expropriation would cost the state a lot – Mladenovic says.



Who gets paid and how much, that is, who gets an apartment of which size, depends on numerous factors, the most important of which are the location, the quality of the building and whether it is legal. The City Institute for Valuation is doing this job for the City of Belgrade and they have told RTS that they expect the valuation to begin soon.

The director of that institute, Vlado Sekulic, points out that the value of the facility depends on when it was built, from which materials, how it has been maintained, whether the fees have been paid and so on.

According to the valuer Milic Djokovic, the owners are expected to get EUR 10,000 to 20,000 per are. His evaluation is that, for illegal facilities, the owners could expect a compensation in the amount of the construction value of the property.

City representatives say that nobody will be shortchanged. Those who move out of the apartments for which they have acquired some form of the right of occupancy will get apartments. They won’t own them, but they will get the right of permanent use, RTS reports.
