Belgrade’s Miljakovac 2 residents warn of risks at abandoned fire-damaged building

Residents of the Miljakovac 2 neighbourhood in Belgrade say an abandoned building damaged in a fire last year may endanger people passing nearby. Red warning tape surrounds the site, but neighbours believe the barrier is inadequate, particularly for children walking to a nearby kindergarten and school.

Response by authorities

RTS reported on November 11 that the city’s inspection department had inspected the property and left a notice for its registered holder. When nobody responded and the cadastral record lacked an address for that person, the department asked police to establish their whereabouts before the inspection process could continue. The authorities have not announced a final decision on how the property will be secured.

Safety considerations

The report does not establish that collapse is inevitable or that any individual has been found guilty of wrongdoing. People should heed warning signs and avoid approaching damaged portions of the property while the authorities assess the risk.
