Belgrade Is Getting Wastewater Treatment Plant – Signing Contract with Chinese Company CMEC Belgrade is getting WasteWater Treatment Plant – signing contract with Chinese company CMEC Belgrade Deputy Mayor Goran Vesic said on Sunday, January 12th, that an agreement on the design, financing and construction of the first phase of a wastewater treatment plant in the Veliko Selo will be signed this week in the Government of the Republic of Serbia. The agreement, he recalled, will be signed with China’s Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC) and based on a memorandum of understanding signed in Beijing in 2018 by President Aleksandar Vucic. – Construction of wastewater treatment plant in Belgrade is finally starting. A third of Belgrade has no sewage and all our sewage, without any treatment, flows directly into the Sava and Danube. We have over 100 sewage spills into our rivers. And then one wonders why the city smells bad in the summer when the water levels drop. The wastewater treatment plant in Velika Selo covers an area of ​​1.5 million inhabitants and, when put into operation, will reduce the direct sewage into the Danube and Sava by about 80% – said Vesic. He added that the new plant would “pick up” all wastewater from the southern part of the city of Sremcica – Zeleznik – Zarkovo – Banovo Brdo – Senjak, the western part of the city of New Belgrade – Zemun and the central part of Old Belgrade. – We are constructing missing collectors, tunnels and pumping stations that will bring the used water to a future wastewater treatment plant at the Veliko Selo site. The project will be implemented in two phases. The value of the first phase is 271,700,000 euros and the realization of the money was secured through an interstate agreement between the Republic of Serbia and the People’s Republic of China. In the first phase, we are building missing parts of the Interceptor, with a section of the Ambulance – Venizelosova tunnel. We will reconstruct the sewage pumping station “Mostar”, which will pump wastewater from the southern part of the city, the Zeleznik sub-basins, Banovo brdo, Topcider and Senjak, and construct a sewage pumping station “Usce – Nova” with a siphon about 500 meters in diameter Fi 4000 under the Sava River, which will pump wastewater from the western part of the city, New Belgrade and Zemun, to the Interceptor connection. We are also building the first phase of the Veliko Selo Wastewater Treatment Plant with mechanical treatment, which involves pumping and purification on coarse and fine grilles, sand removal, suspended matter and grease in aerated sand traps – explained the Deputy Mayor. He said that in the second phase, which has not yet been contracted, the wastewater treatment plant will receive primary treatment, which includes the separation of sludge in the primary sedimentation tanks and secondary treatment, which will include biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by advanced activated sludge processes such as and the separation of sludge in secondary sedimentation tanks, and that tertiary treatment is possible in the future, given the tightening of regulatory requirements. Vesic announced that Belgrade will build four smaller wastewater treatment plants, or 20% that will not be treated in Veliko Selo, and explained that these are significantly smaller plants that the city can finance itself, eKapija reports. Belgrade is getting WasteWater Treatment Plant – signing contract with Chinese company CMEC – We are just designing a wastewater treatment plant in Batajnica and we are negotiating with the European Investment Bank on the design and construction of wastewater treatment plants in Ostruznica and Obrenovac, as well as on the construction of sewage in Kaludjerica. For the first time in history, Belgrade will treat its wastewater and will not destroy the two rivers and its inhabits. That is why these are good days for Belgrade, not only for ecology but also for the health of our citizens. This year is good for eco-friendly Belgrade because it started with the abolition of plastic bags, and in the first month we are signing a contract for the construction of a wastewater treatment plant – Vesic said..

On the night before our wedding, the lobby bar of the Square Nine hotel was bathed in a marmalade lamplight, as if time were suspended. I still recall the bear hugs of my arriving friends, coats slapped, hands warmed with foam-clouded hot chocolates; the glorious mayhem that followed. Later that evening, at the Tri Sešira, a 19th-century tavern in bohemian Skadarlija, wooden boards descended as if from the air, piled high with mountain cheeses, kajmak (the love child of butter and clotted cream) and processional meats with dense cuts of pork and lamb. The home-cooked scents wrapped themselves around us, as did a ragtag of gypsy musicians, ever more raucous, on beaten-up accordions and guitars. The Serbian capital isn’t a showstopper; it didn’t grab me by the heartstrings the first time I arrived here as a reporter 15 years ago. But over years of returning, the things that failed to charm me before – things I simply couldn’t understand – now make me wonder how I ever lived without them.

  • 208 Book Reviews Does Not Emphasize
    208 Book Reviews does not emphasize. It is important to consider which basic food products the town popu­ lation procures primarily from which sector as, for example, with respect to dairy products, meat, vegetables, grains and bread. In addition to the reader being provided with detailed surveys of what is offered on the peasant market in the course of a year it would have been of interest to know what the socially owned supermarkets and retail stores were offering on the same day and the relative prices. That is, it would be desirable to have some means of viewing the functioning of the primarily private sector market in a precise context within the overally socialized economy. The total context of trade is a complex one. As Lockwood makes clear, certain state enterprises such as hotels, hospitals, and restaurants do acquire at least some of their needs through purchases directly from private peasants or at the open market. In addition peas­ ants sell some of their larger food and livestock items directly to the cooperative. State enterprises also market produce in stalls at the open market as well as through stores. In sum this is a unique documentary source on Bosnian peasant socio-economic rela­ tionships and on the nature of provinical market transactions which form an important as­ pect of Yugoslav economic life.

  • 7Th ROWHOUSE on SENJAK in BELGRADE
    th 7 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Contemporary achievements in civil engineering 23-24. April 2019. Subotica, SERBIA ROWHOUSE ON SENJAK IN BELGRADE: RECONSTRUCTION CASE STUDY Danilo S. Furundžić 1 Božidar S. Furundžić 2 UDK: 69.059.25 DOI: 10.14415/konferencijaGFS2019.084 Summary: This paper presents a case study of reconstruction and interior design of the rowhouse located in Temišvarska Street No. 27a, оn Senjak in Belgrade. The rowhouse (with basement, ground floor, first floor and attic) is reconstructed and new interior space (190 m2) is created. Ground floor is one-room space, children's room is on the first floor, and parents’ bedroom is in the attic. The reconstructed interior represents functional unit, which satisfies all family needs. Keywords: rowhouse, reconstruction, interior, case study, Belgrade 1. INTRODUCTION Each house project is different. An architect has to create appropriate environment that matches site and functions. Therefore, the architect has to study all aspects, evaluates pro et contra arguments and generate functional and agreeable project. In countries of Eastern Europe, a political change has also caused urban changes. Interior space reconstruction has become available to wealthier owners. Different rowhouse types are described in foreign books, journals, and magazines. In Belgrade there are districts with row houses (e.g. Dedinje, Senjak, Šumice, Cerak, Višnjicka banja, Bežanijska kosa). Examples of rowhouse interior reconstruction in Belgrade, however, are rare in domestic literature and that gave a stimulus to following writing. This paper presents the case study of reconstruction and interior design of the rowhouse in Temišvarska Street No. 27a. The solution of the client’s demands is, after several attempts, created on basis of a study of rowhouse function, volume, shape, and cost.

  • The Forgotten Light”
    ”Det bortglömda Ljuset” ”The Forgotten Light” Sonja Tomic Handledare/ Pål Röjgård Harryan Supervisor Examinator/ Anders Johansson Examiner Examensarbeteinomarkitektur, avanceradnivå 30 hp Degree Project in Architecture, Second Level 30 credits 04 June 2015 intro. The Forgotten Light In 1969 the lights went out in the power station on the river Danube in Belgrade. Today the mighty building of Power and Light lays in ruin, swallowed by greenery and inhabited by creatures of the wild. Roofs fall in, glass shatters, walls crumble, but one persists – the irresistible awe this industrial giant evokes. From the moment we lay our eyes on it, its memory burns in our minds, long after the fires of its furnaces went quiet. Will the Light shine again or will it wither into darkness? short summary. Project’s main focus it the restoration of an abandoned coal power plant Power and Light in Belgrade, Serbia. Built in 1931, it is situated in an old industrial zone on the banks of river Danube below the city center. The process of moving the industry from city centers to the suburbs in the beginning of the 20th century left the area mostly disused, how it stays to this date. As the building and the area are tightly bound the project is dealing not only with the revitalization itself, but also gives a sche- matic proposal for the development of the whole historical industrial zone This proposal looks into re-including the area into city life, but also bringing it back the importance it once had as the driving force behind the city development.
