Don't Let Belgrade D(r)own

A citizens' initiative, later a movement, that organised protests after the demolitions in Savamala, drawing more than 20,000 people by the organisers' estimate; it described the Belgrade Waterfront contract as a surrender of sovereignty and asked the prosecutor's office to sue to have it declared null and void, with no known outcome. Prosecutors dismissed criminal complaints over the €83,000 tender for New Year lighting and Christmas trees, and a misdemeanour court penalised two of its activists for speeches at a protest.
