Municipal developments in Split and Skopje

In Split, Croatia, Ante Bekavac has addressed controversies regarding the planned public garage in the Meje district, specifically the Sustipan/Zvončaca area. Responding to allegations of favoring private interests, Bekavac stated that the project remains a priority for the Meje district. He explained that other parking projects, such as Park & Ride facilities in Lovrinac and Turska kula, were prioritized due to their higher capacity and immediate impact on reducing city-center traffic. He emphasized that the development of a public garage does not exclude private projects and that the city continues to coordinate with Split Parking.

In Skopje, North Macedonia, the City of Skopje has announced plans to install 30 surveillance cameras across various public locations to combat vandalism. The initiative targets parks, playgrounds, waste containers, fountains, and street lighting to prevent damage to urban equipment and the creation of illegal landfills. The decision includes regulations on video surveillance methods, personal data protection, and the rights of authorized personnel. While the city aims to create a cleaner and safer environment, specific details regarding the selection of camera locations and the timeline for full city coverage have not yet been provided.
