A plan by the city authorities in Belgrade to reconstruct a central square and erect a soaring 28-metre-high monument to a medieval prince has come under fire from critics, who call it kitschy and complain of an untransparent planning process.

BELGRADE - The Civic Initiative (CI) argues that the infrastructure for the Belgrade Waterfront project is unfeasible, and that the area in question cannot sustain the planned density of facilities, buildings with so many stories and square meters.
