What it is
A detailed regulation plan, or PDR, is one of Serbia's urban-planning documents. For a defined zone it sets land use, building rules, streets, infrastructure, public spaces, and conditions used later for urban-planning conditions and construction permits. In the Mirijevo/Bajdina case, the area is in Belgrade's Zvezdara municipality, where residents link the plan to the risk of new construction around Bajdina forest.
What happened on June 25
On June 25, 2026, the Belgrade City Assembly adopted its second budget rebalance of the year and a package of urban-planning documents. N1 reports that 59 councilors voted for both the rebalance and the Mirijevo plan, while opposition councilors did not vote. After a combined debate on 31 agenda items, nine detailed regulation plans were adopted for parts of Zvezdara, Novi Beograd, Palilula, Vracar, and Savski venac.
Bajdina status
Current status as of June 28, 2026: the Mirijevo/Bajdina plan has been adopted by the city parliament, but that does not mean every building is already under construction. A PDR creates the planning framework; actual works usually require further procedures, projects, and permits. The open question is which permits and projects will follow the plan's adoption and whether residents or opposition groups will continue challenging the decision politically or legally.
Residents' position
Danas quotes ZLF councilor Natalija Stojmenovic as saying that representatives of the "Mirjevo - zeleno i zdravo" initiative came to the session because they believe the Bajdina plan would worsen quality of life in the area. She said residents had taken part in commissions, filed objections, written to institutions, and requested meetings, but had not received what they consider a substantive response. Danas also describes security approaching activists at the speaker's podium, after which opposition councilors stood around them.
What PDR adoption means
Adopting a PDR separates the political decision from the next implementation steps. From that point, the dispute usually shifts from "will the city adopt the plan" to publication of the decision, use of the planning rules, future permits, possible appeals, and checks on whether specific projects match the adopted planning documentation.
Why it matters
For Mirijevo and Zvezdara residents, such plans change not only a map but the daily environment: building density, pressure on streets, parking, schools, health clinics, green space, and stormwater infrastructure. For other readers, it is an example of how a city-budget day can also include documents that shape specific neighborhoods for years.
What to watch next
N1 and Danas do not give a fixed next deadline. The checkable next events are publication of the adopted plan and assembly decisions, new urban-planning or construction permits for the Bajdina/Mirijevo zone, and statements by the "Mirjevo - zeleno i zdravo" initiative about possible further steps.
