An independent expert investigation determined that the current Serbian regime bears responsibility for this tragedy. The investigation revealed years of bypassed safety standards, opaque contracting, and no meaningful accountability. The contractors and officials involved faced no consequences. ![Novi Sad Canopy - Who is responsible?](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/03_who_is_responsible-1024x576.jpg)[Final report of the Inquiry Comission: “The responsibility lies with an organised criminal group led by the president of Serbia](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/the-responsibility-lies-with-an-organized-criminal-group-led-by-the-president/).” ## **How is Expo 2027 connected** Belgrade EXPO 2027 is being developed under the same negligence and institutional governance responsible for the Novi Sad tragedy**.** It is being built under the emergency procurement rules that *suspend* normal oversight. At the same time, the same political environment that caused the Novi Sad tragedy is now being applied to a project many times its scale. The same pressure to deliver, weakened checks and clandestine deals are all present. This is not a coincidence.

These conditions mirror **a pattern seen across Serbia’s recent construction projects**, from the Novi Sad railway station collapse to highways and stations opened without proper permits, where **speed and political priorities override worker safety and regulatory oversight**. These infrastructure projects, including the Novi Sad railway station, and EXPO 2027 were **awarded to Chinese state-owned consortia through interstate agreements via direct negotiation**, bypassing competitive tendering procedures. The works are then mostly executed by various subcontractors. ## **A History of Building Without a Permit: Previous Indicators and Problems** Lack of legislative procedures, alleged corruption, and non-respect of regulation are **constant problems in Serbia.** ### **Novi Sad** ![Canopy fall in Novi Sad](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Stanica_Novi_Sad_31-1-1024x768.jpg) **Canopy fall, Novi Sad railway station.

Source: Marko Dragoslavić / FoNet** A central railway station in **Belgrade, Prokop**, does not have a licence and does not meet the fire safety requirements, yet it is allowed to operate regularly and receive passengers since 2023. - Engineer Edin Drljo warned that the “Belgrade Center” railway station building in Prokop will collapse if the two pillars on which it “stands” fail and appealed that the station should be closed urgently. - On the platform beams of the Prokop station in the middle of the span, it was observed that cracks appeared in the lower zone. Based on the tests carried out by the materials testing institute from Belgrade, it was concluded that the reinforcement in those beams is smaller than the one provided by the previous project. - [The tunnel should be closed immediately, the damaged poles have only been repainted](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/engineer-drljo-the-tunnel-should-be-closed-immediately-the-damaged-poles-have-only-been-repainted/) - [Station Prokop without a use permit and technical documentation for fire protection](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/station-prokop-without-a-use-permit-and-technical-documentation-for-fire-protection-2/) However, [representatives of the Expo participating countries do not seem worried](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/what-did-the-representatives-of-the-expo-participating-countries-answer-to-forbes-serbias-question-about-the-security-of-facilities/) about EXPO 2027 construction safety. ### **Across Serbia by Road and Rail** A major highway opened in Serbia without an operating permit and technical inspection approval. According to CEOP’s publicly available construction permit database, no operating permit was issued for the section of the Pakovraće-Požega highway (Miloš Veliki). - This section includes the Munjino Brdo tunnel, a problematic spot due to a landslide and water issues. - The Government of Serbia has adopted a decree which, as some interpret, suspends the Rulebook on Tunnel Safety, with the obligation to provide round-the-clock emergency services: firefighters, police, and medical personnel. - [Highway opened in Serbia without a permit and a response to a technical inspection](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/highway-opened-in-serbia-without-a-permit-and-a-response-to-a-technical-inspection/) - [Vučić’s word is stronger than expertise: The Pakovraće – Požega section will be opened at any cost](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/vucics-word-is-stronger-than-expertise-the-pakovrace-pozega-section-will-be-opened-at-any-cost/) The **Belgrade-Subotica** railway has a “Partial Decision on Use Permits”; six of its stations do not have a use permit. - For example, the load-bearing walls of [the reconstructed railway station building in Subotica are badly damaged](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/safety-risky-what-is-the-condition-of-railway-stations-on-the-line-through-vojvodina/), the canopy towards the station square is damaged, and the condition is poor, while the condition of the roof structure on the building is assessed as unfavourable. - The overall condition of the building is described as “very damaged” with a rating of “1 – unsatisfactory”, stated in the Record of Inspection Control of the Inspection Supervision Sector of the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. **All of the above-mentioned works were entrusted to the Chinese consortium companies China Railway International** (**CRIC) and China Communications Construction Company** (**CCCC**). The contracts were concluded according to the interstate agreement, by direct negotiation, without a tender. The EXPO 2027 is also entrusted to a Chinese state-owned company, **Power Construction Corporation of China Ltd (PowerChina)**, by the same rules: the contract was concluded according to the interstate agreement, by direct negotiation, without a tender. - [INVESTIGATING The main contractors on strategic state projects: Is Serbia divided like Berlin after the war?

This time, authorities skipped giving an official reason entirely. - - Even the state railway company, Srbijavoz, openly acknowledges these systemic failures. In the press announcement on a loan agreement signed on May 28th for 30 new trains, the company cited a technically outdated fleet, breakdowns, and reduced reliability. Srbijavoz warned that the current network cannot support the surge in demand expected for major events like the EXPO. However, the new trains won’t be there in time for EXPO. - ## **Exploitation of Workers** ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Workers-Construction-perspective.jpg)Source: Borba daily journal- The Republic Labour Inspection found [56 workers from Turkey and China without work permits at the EXPO construction site in Belgrade](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/we-discover-56-undeclared-workers-and-three-cases-of-injuries-discovered-at-the-expo-so-far-these-are-the-companies-and-entrepreneurs-found-in-violation/). The document by the Republic Labour Inspection states: *“Due to established illegalities in the field of labour relations and safety and health at work, 17 requests to initiate misdemeanor proceedings were submitted against companies and entrepreneurs, while due to established irregularities, **three decisions were made to prohibit work** and five decisions to eliminate irregularities”*. - The inspection filed criminal charges against Antares construction and the Belgrade branch of Power China International Group Limited, which have been ongoing for almost a year, CINS reveals. - Additional legal problem with PowerChina: All Chinese workers without a work permit are employed by the Belgrade branch of PowerChina International Group Limited, which is part of the large Chinese corporation PowerChina. However, as a branch of PowerChina, this company does NOT have the status of a legal entity, and is therefore not subject to the law on misdemeanours. - [Illegal Works on the EXPO: Working off the Books and Fleeing from Construction Site](https://www.cins.rs/en/illegal-works-on-the-expo-working-off-the-books-and-fleeing-from-construction-site/?tztc=1) - [Belgrade Court Clears PowerChina Branch in Illegal Worker Case](https://www.cins.rs/en/belgrade-court-clears-powerchina-branch-in-illegal-worker-case/) ## **After EXPO 2027: Maintenance and Management** Authorities have spent heavily on marketing agencies promoting vague promises like “100% modular facilities will become schools and kindergartens across Serbia”, yet no actual technical, legal, or logistical plan exists for **what happens after EXPO 2027 ends**. Ironically, Surčin’s own 2021-2030 development strategy envisions a future based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism, directly contradicting the government’s imposed urbanisation project that ignores local community priorities and lacks any credible legacy plan. - There is no detailed plan for the long-term maintenance and management of infrastructure facilities after EXPO 2027; who will manage the facilities? Local government, public enterprise, or other competent institution? - There is no publicly available legacy plan in terms of long-term benefits for the community, which makes it difficult to accept the project, especially in terms of huge investments. - Large funds are allocated to marketing agencies which base their narratives on general, insufficiently convincing points. [\[What is left for us after Expo? The foundation for a new knowledge economy\]](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/what-is-left-for-us-after-expo-the-foundation-for-a-new-knowledge-economy/) E.g. the claim that “Expo 2027 will be the first event of its kind whose legacy will be 100% utilised through modular facilities that will become schools, kindergartens, and sports halls throughout Serbia after the exhibition” is not based on a technically, legally, and logistically developed concept, but is an indicator of marketing discourse, i.e. green- and legacy-washing. - In the [Sustainable Development Strategy of the City Municipality of Surčin 2021-2030](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/401264086_Snezana_B_ALEKSIC_THE_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_THE_GREEN_AGENDA_OF_SERBIA_AND_THE_URBANIZATION_OF_THE_MUNICIPALITY_OF_SURCIN_FOR_THE_IMPLEMENTATION_OF_EXPO_2027_-CURRENT_SITUATION_AND_PERSPECTIVES), adopted in 2021, the local community sees its sustainable development through strengthening agriculture, fishing, organic production, and tourism, and not through urbanisation imposed by the Government. --- ### [Ecological Perspective](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/ecological-perspective/) **Published:** March 16, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ## **EXPO 2027 and the Ecological Risks to Surčin Lower Field** The construction of the EXPO 2027 complex and the National Football Stadium in Surčin is being developed in an **environmentally sensitive area of major hydrological and ecological importance.** This area is located close to **Belgrade’s main drinking water sources**, with **groundwater lying at relatively shallow depths**, making the ecosystem extremely vulnerable to contamination and changes in the water regime. ### **Threat to Belgrade’s Drinking Water** The project directly interferes with Surčinsko Polje, one of the **key water sources for Belgrade**, supplying **around 30% of the city’s drinking water**. The plan area is located mostly in the wider sanitary protection zone of the Belgrade water source (zone III) and to a lesser extent in the narrower (zone II) and immediate (zone I) sanitary protection zones. These zones exist specifically to prevent contamination of groundwater used for public water supply. The project includes high-rise buildings requiring deep foundations, a construction method allowed in these zones only under **exceptional circumstances and with strict protection measures.** Failure to implement such measures could compromise groundwater quality, potentially forcing the abandonment of water treatment facilities or even the water source itself. - [(Nenadović, Tekić & Đorđević, 2018).](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324196505_Environmentally-based_structural_design_criteria_for_buildings) The environmental impact study, required for the building permit, was not conducted before construction of the stadium had begun; instead, it was developed concurrently with the construction, constituting illegal building activity. [**Environmental Impact Report: National Football Stadium** (in Serbian) ](https://razmena.appurs.gov.rs/uploads/2026/04/SPU-NFS_IV-faza.pdf)states*: “Given the planned construction that may have a significant cumulative impact on the hydrological regime of this area, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study and for each individual facility to check the possibility of implementation and define the measures and conditions for it. Particular attention should be paid to how the planned construction will affect the water quality and well capacity of the Belgrade water source. If there is a threat to it or the event of a threat to it, in any segment, it is necessary to prove the justification of the solution and find an alternative source of water supply for the city… **Before building the facility**,* ***do a feasibility check****.* ***Especially considering the fact that these agricultural areas are located in the sanitary protection zones of the Belgrade water source****.”* And on the construction site? Without any additional study, 2,300 deep reinforced concrete pillars were driven, for which the environmental impact was not previously considered in the Zone III sanitary protection zone of the Water Source. No one knows what impact these works will have on groundwater and the water that Belgrade citizens drink. As a result, [RERI (Renewables and Environmental Regulatory Institute](https://reri.org.rs/en/)) has filed a criminal complaint against Finance Minister Siniša Mali, the project’s leader. The finalised study is incomplete, notably attempting to overlook the impact of numerous piles on the water source. Consequently, RERI has also sued the Ministry of Environmental Protection. - ### **Flood Risk, Water Contamination, and Well Capacity** - The project includes interventions along the Sava River levee, which currently protects New Belgrade from flooding. - Ongoing construction is taking place in a **sanitary protection zone**, where the protection plan for the water source **prohibits intrusion** into the aquifer layer. This poses a significant **risk** for many planned structures that are founded on numerous piles, thereby **violating sanitary conditions**. This situation allows for multiple points through which **contaminated surface water can directly infiltrate the underground water source without prior filtration**. One of the key concerns is that the project of the EXPO complex in Surčin [**does not include a wastewater treatment plant**.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/expo-the-national-stadium-and-groundwater-what-are-the-solutions-for-safe-facilities-and-the-environment/) The complex will generate large quantities of municipal and potentially industrial wastewater due to the presence of thousands of employees, residents, and visitors. Without adequate treatment, there is a **risk of direct discharge of contaminated water into existing drainage channels**, such as the Galovica canal and **further into the Sava River**. In addition, the construction of **an international dock in the hydrological zone of the wells** carries risks of: - water pollution from construction activities and vessels - changes in hydrodynamics and sedimentation - alterations in underground flows - mechanical damage to the well system - reduced filtration capacity - long-term decreases in well capacity - [EXPO, the National Stadium and groundwater: What are the solutions for safe facilities and the environment](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/expo-the-national-stadium-and-groundwater-what-are-the-solutions-for-safe-facilities-and-the-environment/) ### **Destruction of High-Quality Agricultural Land** The total planned area of the EXPO project currently covers 813.65 hectares. Of this, 74.3% (604.32 ha) is high-quality agricultural land, mainly Class II-1 soil, among the most fertile in Serbia. **Only 15% of land in Serbia is of this quality**, making it extremely valuable for agricultural production. On that 604.32 ha of the high-quality agricultural terrain, National Football Stadium is to be erected (which the Serbian government tied into the EXPO project), parallel with the accompanying infrastructure, including residential buildings for exhibition participants, roads and supporting halls. **Only 0.4% or 3.09 ha of green space is planned.** [**Environmental Impact Report: National Football Stadium** (in Serbian) ](https://razmena.appurs.gov.rs/uploads/2026/04/SPU-NFS_IV-faza.pdf)states: *“The reconstruction of the facilities should be* ***subject to a*** ***justification** check**. Especially when considering the fact that these agricultural areas are located in the sanitary protection zones of the Belgrade spring.”* Construction works are ongoing. Justification has never been established. ### **Massive Land Filling and Unknown Materials** Due to high groundwater levels and alluvial soil, the terrain requires raising the ground by 3-5 meters through large-scale land filling. This creates additional risks for nearby Ranney wells (between wells 46 and 47). Key questions remain unanswered: - Where did the filling material come from? - Who verified its composition? - Was its potential impact on groundwater assessed? In an area located directly within water protection zones, any contamination could have serious consequences for drinking water safety. ### **Impact on Protected Ecological Areas** Parts of the project area overlap with important ecological zones, including: - the “Sava–Danube Confluence” ecological network area - international ecological corridors along the Sava River - potential Natura 2000 sites, including - *Surčin* - *Sava–Danube Confluence and Pančevo Marsh* These sites are recognized under EU environmental directives, including: - the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) - the Birds Directive (2009/147/EC) Despite this, the project plans only 0.4% green space, raising serious questions about the preservation of ecological corridors and biodiversity. ### **Environmental Measures Ignored** The environmental study itself prescribes strict measures, including: - preservation of melioration canals - protection of coastal vegetation - safeguarding large trees and natural landscape elements However, construction works began before the study was completed**,** and many of these measures appear not to have been implemented. For example: - the Batajnica sewerage system, required to manage wastewater from the project area, **has not yet been built** - the study states that buildings should not have underground structures, **yet deep foundations and piles are already being installed** - [Serbia: EXPO 2027, anatomy of an urban planning and environmental scandal](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/serbia-expo-2027-anatomy-of-an-urban-planning-and-environmental-scandal/) ## **Belgrade Dolphinarium Project — A Retrograde Leap in Urban Planning and Ethics** The proposed construction of an aquarium and dolphinarium at the Ušće site is a significant departure from contemporary urban planning standards and democratic governance. This project, **introduced without public debate or expert consultation**, [raises critical questions regarding fiscal responsibility, environmental preservation, animal protection, and ethical principles.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/dolphinarium-in-usce-a-new-megalomaniac-fantasy-of-the-authorities-the-whole-world-is-closing-them-and-we-are-opening-a-new-one/) 31,048 people have signed a [petition “Save dolphins – Stop dolphinariums!”](https://peticije.kreni-promeni.org/petitions/stop-izgradnji-delfinarijuma-sloboda-za-delfine-priroda-za-beograd#:~:text=Zahtevamo%20donošenje%20odluke%20o%20obustavi%20projekta%20izgradnje,peticija%20je%20važna%20jer%20je%20projekat%20izgradnje) ### **Democratic Deficit and Economic Priorities** The project has bypassed transparent procedures, excluding both the public and the scientific community from the decision-making process. At a time when the state is intensively borrowing, largely driven by EXPO 2027 of which the Dolphinarium is a part, the allocation of resources towards a grandiose commercial project is highly questionable. The lack of a clear cost-benefit analysis suggests a disregard for the public interest in favour of dubious investment priorities. ### **Ecological Degradation of Ušće** The choice of location is particularly contentious. Ušće serves as one of Belgrade’s last significant green zones, vital for: - Biodiversity maintenance in an increasingly urbanised environment - Air quality regulation for the city centre - Public accessibility, providing a non-commercialised space for citizens The transformation from a rare green space in the city to a concrete commercial hub constitutes an irreversible loss of public space and ecological capital. ### **Ethical Principles and Global Trends** While Serbia initiates a dolphinarium project, the global community is moving in the opposite direction. Countries, including France, Canada, Mexico, Croatia, Slovenia, and India, have banned the breeding and captivity of marine mammals for entertainment. This shift is grounded in established cetacean (marine mammals) science: - Intelligence: Dolphins are highly social, sentient beings whose biological needs cannot be met in artificial tanks. - Welfare: Captivity is linked to [chronic stress, behavioural disorders, and premature mortality.](https://faada.org/entertainment-dolphinariums-problems-associated-with-a-life-in-captivity) For a landlocked country with no institutional history of marine biology, the logistical and ethical risks of maintaining such an infrastructure are exceptionally high, and there is no cultural or natural bond between this kind of project and Serbia. In Serbia more broadly, the situation regarding animals in captivity, whether in zoos or shelters across the territory, is quite serious. **Numerous investigations highlight the conditions under which these animals are kept, which clearly reveals neglect.** Recent testimonies from Palić and Belgrade Zoos show animals in poor, near-death condition. The same conditions are in animal shelters: dogs are kept in deplorable conditions, with reports of unnecessary euthanasia while public money for animal care is used for other purposes. - [Animals in Palić Zoo suffering](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/nps-on-the-shocking-scenes-from-the-palic-zoo-why-are-the-institutions-silent-while-the-suffering-and-dying-of-animals-unfolds-in-front-of-the-publics-eyes/) - [Workers fired because they spoke about the violation of veterinary ethics](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/ssp-the-workers-of-the-palic-zoo-were-fired-because-they-spoke-about-the-violation-of-veterinary-ethics/) - [While dogs die in shelters, the government abuses public money](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/while-dogs-die-in-shelters-the-government-abuses-public-money/) If dogs in shelters and other animals in zoo parks in Serbia are held in such conditions, this will soon become reality for dolphins too. Investing in a retrograde model of entertainment such as the dolphinarium not only places Serbia at odds with international ethical standards, but also threatens the architectural and ecological integrity of Belgrade’s most iconic riverbank. --- ### [Planning Perspective](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/planning-perspective/) **Published:** March 21, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Planning-Perspective_top-of-site-edited.jpg)University of Belgrade, building of the Faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

The PPPPN fell under three existing plans (the Regional Spatial Plan of Belgrade 2011, the Spatial Plan of Surčin Municipality 2012, and the General Urban Plan of Belgrade 2016), all of which designated the site as agricultural land. By reclassifying this land use without alignment, the PPPPN’s adoption was unlawful. The [current Law](https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/zakon_o_planiranju_i_izgradnji.html) has since [reformulated Article 33](https://www.parlament.gov.rs/upload/archive/files/lat/pdf/predlozi_zakona/13_saziv/894-23%20-%20Lat.pdf) to establish that PPPPNs sit hierarchically above other planning documents. This is a convenient revision that immunises future special-purpose plans from similar legal challenges. This hierarchical structure immunises executive spatial decisions from local democratic contestation or judicial challenge. It’s a procedural architecture for authoritarian spatial control: in contrast to other higher level plans like the National Spatial Plan that has to be adopted by the National Assembly, the Government can designate any territory “special purpose,” impose its own planning rules via cabinet decree, and legally override local opposition. [National Stadium: Remarks](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/nacionalni-stadion-primedbe/ "EXPO, the National Stadium and groundwater: What are the solutions for safe facilities and the environment") ### **Manipulations Regarding Democratic Oversight** Serbia’s government passed special EXPO 2027 legislation in secret, with **no public debate and no anti-corruption review,** allowing up to €1 billion in contracts to be handed out without competitive bidding to politically connected firms. Over 100,000 citizens have signed a petition demanding cancellation, but authorities continue blocking access to planning documents and ignoring public opposition. - [The special legislation (“*lex specialis*“)](https://www.transparentnost.org.rs/images/dokumenti_uz_vesti/Special_Law_for_EXPO.pdf) establishing the spatial and legal framework for the project was adopted without public consultation or parliamentary debate, bypassing mandatory consultation with the Anti-Corruption Agency. - The detailed spatial plan submitted to the Bureau International des Expositions remains inaccessible to the public despite involving massive public expenditure and fundamental spatial transformation. This lack of transparency extends to procurement processes as the special law exempts all EXPO-related contracts from public tender requirements, [permitting contracts of up to €1 billion to be awarded without competitive bidding](https://www.transparentnost.org.rs/en/110-english/naslovna/12924-with-the-constitutional-court-remaining-silent-expo-projects-continue-to-be-awarded-without-competition). - [Major construction firms](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/the-chinese-and-the-millennium-team-company-are-building-expo-27-the-government-is-trying-to-hide-where-our-money-will-go/) with [political connections](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/new-job-from-the-state-for-jovana-joksimovics-company-contracted-media-coverage-for-expo/) have received substantial spatial development contracts. - By March 2025, over 120,000 citizens had signed a [petition ](https://dtt-net.com/serbia-movement-submits-petition-calling-for-cancelation-of-expo-2027-over-alleged-corruption-by-authorities/)demanding the cancellation of the EXPO, yet their concerns remain unaddressed in the planning process. ### **Procedural Manipulations Regarding Public Participation** Spatial projects are required by the **[Law on Planning and Construction](https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/zakon_o_planiranju_i_izgradnji.html)** to have an early public insight and a second public review in the later phase of the project planning. This also includes projects developed through a *lex specialis*; however, in the case of the EXPO 2027, **this legal requirement was disregarded.** - The procedural manipulation of the spatial planning process systematically [excluded public participation](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/en/prirucnik-za-izbegavanje-participacije-slucaj-expo/). While the initial Phase I underwent early public review in April 2019, covering 114 hectares, subsequent phases expanding the plan to 813 hectares bypassed this legally mandated step entirely. - [The special EXPO law](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/law-on-special-procedures-for-the-implementation-of-the-international-specialized-exhibition-expo-belgrade-2027/) reduced the public review period from the legally prescribed 30 days to just 15 days, while the mandatory public presentation scheduled for 14 February 2025 was interrupted shortly after beginning and effectively not held; [the planning documentation made available during public review was incomplete](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/en/nema-nazad-samo-napred-na-tom-putu-jedino-stoji-javni-interes-expo-2027/). - Systematic obstruction of access to planning information for a project designated as being of “national significance” fundamentally violates principles of public participation and transparency. - [Special Law for EXPO and its application ](https://www.transparentnost.org.rs/images/dokumenti_uz_vesti/Special_Law_for_EXPO.pdf) - [A handbook for avoiding participation: the case of EXPO](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/en/prirucnik-za-izbegavanje-participacije-slucaj-expo/) ## **Against Sustainable Planning** The project **violates fundamental principles of spatial sustainability** with its vast land use and environmental destruction. This contradicts the goal of sustainable urbanism set in the [Sustainable Urban Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia until 2030](https://pravno-informacioni-sistem.rs/eli/rep/sgrs/vlada/strategija/2019/47/1/reg), as well as the [Draft of the National Spatial Plan of Serbia](https://www.mgsi.gov.rs/sites/default/files/PPRS%20Nacrt.pdf), which both align with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. ### **Vast Land Coverage** The EXPO complex will consume 335 hectares, which is **more than triple the international size limit**, including a national stadium built in an expert-rejected location that is expected to sit empty most of the year. - According to Bureau International des Expositions regulations, the specialised exhibition can occupy a maximum of 25 hectares; yet the spatial plan designates approximately [83 hectares for the EXPO exhibition complex](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/en/primedbe-na-plan-za-expo-odbacivanje-plana-jedino-prihvatljivo-resenje/). - Foreign stadium consultants who designed three World Cup stadiums warned that Surčin’s location, far from the city, could result in the stadium being empty 336 days per year, lacking guaranteed economic sustainability even with a shopping centre nearby. Despite expert recommendations for Ada Huja due to its riverfront location and urban integration potential, authorities selected Surčin primarily because of its connection with the Expo project, raising questions about financial transparency and decision-making processes. - Moreover, the plan establishes “further use of realised content” as a basic objective, which it purports to “enable” through the construction of an additional 252 hectares of commercial content, directly contradicting the foundations of sustainable development by its sheer scale. - [Foreign consultants recommended Ada Huja, the government chose Surčin beyond all logic](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/foreigners-recommended-ada-huja-the-government-chose-surcin-beyond-all-logic/) ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Planning-perspective_vast-land-coverage-1024x576.png)The map shows the location of the Belgrade EXPO 2027 on fertile agricultural land (left) and the planned expansion to an area of 335ha in total (right). This area does not include the National Stadium, which is located within “other facilities” of the spatial plan. For further information on the vast land use see p. 17 ff. in *(In)Visible Mechanisms Of (Mis)Use Of Public Resources: The Expo Belgrade 2027 Project.* Source: Google Earth, own illustrations### **Environmental Destruction** The spatial plan also envisions converting 600 hectares of highly fertile agricultural land into building parcels for single-use construction, **permanently eliminating productive agricultural space**. - [Proposed changes to the law on Expo dangerous for the environment](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/proposed-changes-to-the-law-on-expo-dangerous-for-the-environment/) - Construction of objects on numerous deep piles penetrates the protective aquifer layer, creating multiple direct channels for contaminated surface water to enter the underground water source without filtration. - The planned international marina in the hydrographic zone of the infiltration wells threatens water contamination from construction and vessels, changes in hydrodynamics and sedimentation, alterations in underground flows, mechanical damage to the well system, reduced filtration capacity, and long-term reduction of well capacity. - The urbanisation of Surčin Field through extensive concrete coverage reduces the soil’s infiltration capacity, increasing flood risk in an area already vulnerable to inundation. - In the national budget for 2025, nothing has been determined for the treatment of wastewater and sewerage in the Project area. Despite being located in the narrow sanitary protection zone of the water source, the plan nevertheless designates two marinas, a pontoon, and river traffic. - Disregard of Regulations on Environmental Protection At the same time, the **Environmental Impact Assessment**, which should serve as the basis for building permits, was not conducted before construction began on the stadium; instead, its preparation proceeded in parallel with construction works, which, by Serbian law, **[constitutes illegal construction](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/en/nema-nazad-samo-napred-na-tom-putu-jedino-stoji-javni-interes-expo-2027/)**. - The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts [issued a formal warning](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/proposed-changes-to-the-law-on-expo-dangerous-for-the-environment/) in February 2025 stating that the project poses risks of “irreversible environmental damage” and threatens Belgrade’s water supply infrastructure.

Nezavisna stručna istraga utvrdila je da aktuelni srpski režim snosi odgovornost za ovu tragediju. Istraga je otkrila zaobilaženja bezbednosnih standarda, netransparentno ugovaranje poslova i odsustvo dozvola. Izvođači radova i zvaničnici koji su učestvovali u rekonstrukciji nadstrešnice nisu se suočili ni sa kakvim posledicama. ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Odgovornost-rs-1-1024x576.jpeg)\#image\_title- Završni izveštaj anketne komisije: ## Kako je Expo 2027 povezan? **Beogradski EKSPO 2027 razvija se pod okriljem istog nemara i institucionalnog modela upravljanja koji su doveli do tragedije u Novom Sadu**. Projekat se realizuje po pravilima o vanrednim javnim nabavkama kojima se suspenduje redovan nadzor. Istovremeno, politički mehanizmi koji su uzrokovali novosadsku katastrofu sada se primenjuju na projekat neuporedivo većeg obima – uz isti pritisak da se rokovi ispoštuju po svaku cenu, oslabljene kontrole i netransparentne dogovore. Ovo nije slučajnost. Ovo je obrazac. ### ****[Bezbednost](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/gradjevinska-perspektiva/ "Construction Perspective")**** Gradnja mimo propisa i bez adekvatnog nadzora direktno ugrožava radnike i buduće posetioce. ### ****[Životna sredina](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/ekoloska-perspektiva/)**** Građevinski radovi zadiru u zaštićena prirodna područja i direktno ugrožavaju ključne zone vodosnabdevanja. ### ****[Korupcija](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/politicka-perspektiva "Political Perspective")**** Hitne nabavke i ugovori bez javnih tendera širom otvaraju vrata zloupotrebi javnih sredstava i korupciji. ### ****[Javni novac](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/izvan-expo/ "Izvan projekta EXPO 2027")**** Srbija sebi ne sme da dozvoli projekte „za slikanje,” dok joj zdravstveni i obrazovni sistemi propadaju usled nedostatka sredstava. ## Stav Evropske Unije Evropski parlament i Evropska komisija zvanično su izrazili zabrinutost povodom stanja vladavine prava u Srbiji, praksom javnih nabavki i poslovnim obrascima koji se primenjuju na EKSPO2027: *“zemlje učesnice predstojećeg Ekspo 2027 u Srbiji trebalo bi da uzmu u obzir ozbiljne znake za zabrinutost i dokaze o široko rasprostranjenoj korupciji povezanoj sa vladajućim režimom, kao i prijavljeni nedostatak poštovanja osnovnih građevinskih standarda i pravnih okvira u organizaciji i izgradnji izložbe.“* - [Rezolucija Evropskog parlamenta iz oktobra 2025. o polarizaciji i uvećanoj represiji u Srbiji, godinu dana nakon tragedije u Novom Sadu](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2025-0248_EN.html) - [Izveštaj o Srbiji](https://enlargement.ec.europa.eu/document/download/6e68ce26-b95b-48e1-921a-c60c12da8f00_en?filename=serbia-report-2025.pdfSource) – radni dokument evropske komisije ## Šta zapravo znači učešće jedne zemlje?

Ironično, strategija razvoja opštine Surčin za period 2021–2030 predviđa budućnost zasnovanu na poljoprivredi, ribolovu i turizmu, što je u direktnoj suprotnosti sa urbanističkim projektom koji je nametnula vlada, a koji ignoriše prioritete lokalne zajednice i nema kredibilan plan održivosti. - Ne postoji detaljan plan za dugoročno održavanje i upravljanje infrastrukturnim objektima nakon završetka izložbe EKSPO 2027; ko će upravljati tim objektima? Lokalna samouprava, javno preduzeće ili neka druga nadležna institucija? - Ne postoji javno dostupan plan o tome kakve će dugoročne koristi zajednica imati od ovog projekta, što otežava opravdanost samog projekta, posebno u svetlu ogromnih investicija. - Velika sredstva se izdvajaju za marketinške agencije čiji se narativi zasnivaju na opštim i nedovoljno ubedljivim tezama.

Razvoj lokacije Ekspo 2027 ukazuje na snažnu **centralizaciju moći** i [urušavanje pravnih okvira.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Milovanovic-Rodic-et-al_Invisible-mechanisms-of-misuse-of-public-resources_EN-1.pdf) ### ******Nezakonito prilagođavanje Prostornog plana za područje posebne namene****** Kada je Prostorni plan za područje posebne namene (PPPPN) prvobitno usvojen, bio je u direktnoj suprotnosti sa tada važećim Zakonom o planiranju i izgradnji, konkretno sa članom 33, stav 1, koji nalaže da dokumenti prostornog planiranja moraju biti hijerarhijski usklađeni – što znači da planovi užih područja moraju biti u skladu sa planovima širih područja. PPPPN je bio podređen trima postojećim planovima (Regionalnom prostornom planu administrativnog područja grada Beograda iz 2011. godine, Prostornom planu opštine Surčin iz 2012. godine i Generalnom urbanističkom planu Beograda iz 2016. godine), od kojih su svi pomenutu lokaciju definisali kao poljoprivredno zemljište. Promenom namene ovog zemljišta bez prethodnog usklađivanja, usvajanje PPPPN-a bilo je nezakonito. [Trenutni Zakon](https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/zakon_o_planiranju_i_izgradnji.html) je u međuvremenu [preformulisao Član 33](https://www.parlament.gov.rs/upload/archive/files/lat/pdf/predlozi_zakona/13_saziv/894-23%20-%20Lat.pdf) utvrdivši da se Prostorni planovi područja posebne namene hijerarhijski nalaze iznad ostalih planskih dokumenata. Ovo je svrsishodna izmena koja buduće planove posebne namene imunitetom štiti od sličnih pravnih osporavanja. Ova hijerarhijska struktura praktično izuzima izvršne prostorne odluke od lokalnog demokratskog ili sudskog preispitivanja. Reč je o proceduralnoj arhitekturi za autoritarnu kontrolu prostora: za razliku od drugih planova višeg nivoa, poput Prostornog plana Republike Srbije koji mora da usvoji Narodna skupština, Vlada sada može bilo koju teritoriju da proglasi „područjem posebne namene“, uredbom kabineta nametne sopstvena pravila planiranja i zakonski poništi svako lokalno protivljenje. - [Nacionalni stadion: primedbe](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/nacionalni-stadion-primedbe/) ### ******Manipulacije u vezi sa demokratskim nadzorom****** Vlada Srbije je tajno usvojila poseban zakon o EXPO 2027, **bez javne rasprave i antikorupcijske procene**, što omogućava dodelu ugovora i do milijardu evra politički povezanim firmama bez javnog nadmetanja. Preko 100.000 građana potpisalo je peticiju kojom se zahteva otkazivanje projekta, ali nadležni organi nastavljaju da blokiraju pristup planskim dokumentima i ignorišu protivljenje javnosti. - [Poseban zakon („lex specialis“) ](https://www.transparentnost.org.rs/images/dokumenti_uz_vesti/Special_Law_for_EXPO.pdf)kojim se uspostavlja prostorni i pravni okvir za projekat usvojen je bez javnih konsultacija i parlamentarne rasprave, zaobilazeći obavezne konsultacije sa Agencijom za borbu protiv korupcije. - Detaljan prostorni plan dostavljen Međunarodnom birou za izložbe (BIE) i dalje je nedostupan javnosti, uprkos tome što podrazumeva ogromnu potrošnju javnih sredstava i korenitu prostornu transformaciju. Ovaj nedostatak transparentnosti proteže se i na procese javnih nabavki, budući da poseban zakon izuzima sve ugovore u vezi sa Ekspo izložbom od obaveze sprovođenja javnih tendera, [omogućavajući da se ugovori vredni do milijardu evra dodele](https://www.transparentnost.org.rs/sr/aktivnosti-2/naslovna/12923-dok-ustavni-sud-cuti-poslovi-za-expo-se-ugovaraju-bez-konkurencije) bez konkurentskog nadmetanja. - [Velike građevinske firme](https://nova.rs/vesti/politika/kinezi-i-firma-milenijum-tima-grade-expo-27-vlast-pokusava-da-sakrije-gde-ce-otici-nase-pare-foto/) sa [političkim vezama](https://www.cins.rs/u-cijim-rukama-su-poslovi-za-expo-sestra-ace-rosavog-osudjeni-u-slucaju-arkan-pink-panter-bagzijev-sin-firma-koja-se-povezuje-sa-cumetom/) dobile su kapitalne ugovore za prostorni razvoj. - Do marta 2025. godine, preko 120.000 građana [potpisalo je peticiju](https://dtt-net.com/serbia-movement-submits-petition-calling-for-cancelation-of-expo-2027-over-alleged-corruption-by-authorities/) sa zahtevom da se EKSPO otkaže, ali njihova zabrinutost i dalje nije uzeta u obzir u procesu planiranja. ### ******Proceduralne manipulacije u vezi sa učešćem javnosti****** [Zakon o planiranju i izgradnji](https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/zakon_o_planiranju_i_izgradnji.html) nalaže da prostorni projekti imaju rani javni uvid i drugu javnu raspravu u kasnijoj fazi planiranja projekta. Ovo takođe uključuje projekte razvijene putem lex specialis-a; međutim, u slučaju EXPO 2027, **ovaj zakonski zahtev je zanemaren**. - Proceduralna manipulacija procesom prostornog planiranja sistematski je[ isključila učešće javnosti](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/prirucnik-za-izbegavanje-participacije-slucaj-expo/). Dok je početna Faza I prošla ranu javnu raspravu u aprilu 2019. godine, obuhvatajući 114 hektara, naredne faze kojima je proširen plan na 813 hektara potpuno su zaobišle ovaj zakonski propisani korak. - [Poseban zakon o EKSPO-u](https://www.mfin.gov.rs/propisi/zakon-o-posebnim-postupcima-radi-realizacije-meunarodne-specijalizovane-izlobe-expo-belgrade-2027-slubeni-glasnik-rs-br-922023) skratio je rok za javnu raspravu sa zakonom propisanih 30 na svega 15 dana. Obavezna javna prezentacija, zakazana za 14. februar 2025. godine, prekinuta je ubrzo nakon početka i nikada nije nastavljena.

Ovo je u suprotnosti sa ciljem održivog urbanizma utvrđenim u [Strategiji održivog urbanog razvoja Republike Srbije do 2030. godine](https://pravno-informacioni-sistem.rs/eli/rep/sgrs/vlada/strategija/2019/47/1/reg), kao i sa [Nacrtom Nacionalnog prostornog plana Republike Srbije](https://www.mgsi.gov.rs/sites/default/files/PPRS%20Nacrt.pdf), koji su usklađeni sa Agendom UN za održivi razvoj do 2030. godine. ### Ogromno zauzeće zemljišta Kompleks Ekspo zauzeće 335 hektara, što je **više nego trostruko iznad međunarodnog limita** veličine EXPO izložbe. Ova površina obuhvata i Nacionalni stadion, koji se gradi na lokaciji koju je struka izričito odbila i za koji se očekuje da će biti prazan veći deo godine. - Prema propisima Međunarodnog biroa za izložbe, specijalizovana izložba može da zauzme najviše 25 hektara; nasuprot tome, ovaj prostorni plan predviđa čak [83 hektara samo za izložbeni deo EXPO kompleksa](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/primedbe-na-plan-za-expo-odbacivanje-plana-jedino-prihvatljivo-resenje/). - Strani konsultanti koji su projektovali tri stadiona za Svetsko prvenstvo upozorili su da bi lokacija u Surčinu, zbog velike udaljenosti od grada, mogla da rezultira time da stadion bude prazan čak 336 dana u godini, bez garantovane ekonomske održivosti čak i sa tržnim centrom u blizini. Iako su stručnjaci predlagali Adu Huju zbog njene pozicije na obali reke i potencijala za urbanu integraciju, vlasti su izabrale Surčin prvenstveno zbog povezanosti sa projektom Ekspo, što otvara ozbiljna pitanja o finansijskoj transparentnosti i motivima donošenja odluka. - Pored toga, plan definiše „naknadnu namenu realizovanih sadržaja“ kao primarni cilj, koji navodno treba da se ostvari kroz komercijalnu izgradnju dodatna 252 hektara, što je zbog samih razmera u direktnoj suprotnosti sa temeljima održivog razvoja. - [Stranci preporučili Adu Huju, vlast van svake logike izabrala Surčin](https://radar.nova.rs/ekonomija/nacionalni-stadion-ada-huja-surcin-fenvik/), Radar, mart 2026 ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Planning-perspective_vast-land-coverage-1024x576.png)Mapa prikazuje lokaciju beogradskog Ekspo 2027 na plodnom poljoprivrednom zemljištu (levo) i planirano proširenje na ukupnu površinu od 335 hektara (desno).

To donosi negativne promene u hidrodinamici, pojačanu sedimentaciju, poremećaje u podzemnim tokovima, mehanička oštećenja sistema bunara, i na kraju – trajno smanjenje kapaciteta samih bunara. - Urbanizacija Surčinskog polja kroz masovno betoniranje drastično smanjuje moć upijanja zemljišta, što direktno povećava rizik od poplava u području koje je već osetljivo na poplave. - U državnom budžetu za 2025. godinu nisu predviđena sredstva za prečišćavanje otpadnih voda i izgradnju kanalizacije na području samog projekta. Uprkos tome što se nalazi u užoj zoni sanitarne zaštite izvorišta vodosnabdevanja, plan i pored toga predviđa dve marine, ponton i rečni saobraćaj. - Nepoštovanje propisa o zaštiti životne sredine Istovremeno, **Procena uticaja na životnu sredinu** koja po zakonu mora biti osnov za izdavanje građevinskih dozvola, uopšte nije sprovedena pre početka izgradnje stadiona. Umesto toga, njena izrada tekla je paralelno sa građevinskim radovima, što prema jasnim odredbama srpskog zakonodavstva [predstavlja nezakonitu gradnju](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/nema-nazad-samo-napred-na-tom-putu-jedino-stoji-javni-interes-expo-2027/). - Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti (SANU) [izdala je zvanično upozorenje](https://radar.nova.rs/drustvo/expo-opasan-po-zivotnu-sredinu/) u februaru 2025. godine, naglašavajući da projekat nosi rizik od „nepovratne štete po životnu sredinu“ i da direktno ugrožava kompletnu infrastrukturu vodosnabdevanja Beograda.

Izveštaji relevantnih međunarodnih tela kontinualno ukazuju na dramatičan deficit u vladavini prava i sistematsko urušavanje demokratskih institucija. Takvo okruženje stvara visoku pravnu i poslovnu neizvesnost za sve međunarodne partnere i investitore. Evropski parlament, Evropska komisija, kao i Evropski ekonomski i socijalni komitet, već su prepoznali ozbiljne sistemske probleme u samoj organizaciji beogradske EXPO izložbe. Istovremeno, lokalne inicijative, nevladine organizacije, stručna javnost i akademska zajednica u Srbiji jednoglasni su u oceni: ovaj projekat prate teške pravne i ekonomske nepravilnosti, a njegova realizacija se sprovodi na štetu, a ne u interesu lokalnog stanovništva. ## ******Evropske institucije prepoznaju sistemske probleme korupcije****** Evropski parlament (EP) izrazio je [duboku zabrinutost zbog sveprisutne korupcije i netransparentnog trošenja javnih sredstava](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2025-0248_EN.html) u Srbiji. U kontekstu beogradskog EKSPO 2027, poseban naglasak je stavljen na bezbednosne propuste i odsustvo nezavisnog nadzora nad velikim infrastrukturnim projektima, što direktno ugrožava integritet same izložbe. Rezolucija izričito ističe da se domaći zakoni zaobilaze, a da rokovi za pravnu zaštitu i podnošenje ponuda na tenderima nisu u skladu sa standardima Evropske unije. ![Informational collage: yellow background, torn paper note with Serbian text about the EU inviting countries to Expo 2027 in Serbia, overlayed on a grayscale building with EU flags at the right.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/eu-rs-1024x576.jpeg)Na ove probleme upozorava i **Evropski ekonomski i socijalni komitet** koji je, zajedno sa predstavnicima civilnog društva iz Srbije, [podržao zahteve lokalnog stanovništva](https://n1info.rs/vesti/odbor-civilnog-drustva-eu-i-srbije-puna-podrska-zahtevima-studenata-zabrinutost-zbog-expo-i-jadra/) i izdao oštro upozorenje zbog potpune netransparentnosti projekta. **Vlada Švedske** donela je odluku da [preispita svoju podršku Srbiji](https://www.government.se/press-releases/2025/11/government-to-review-serbian-reform-support/), striktno se držeći principa da se evrointegracije moraju zasnivati na stvarnim zaslugama. Delovi finansijske i tehničke pomoći državnim agencijama u Srbiji se obustavljaju i povlače upravo zbog rastuće korupcije i nepoštovanja vladavine prava.

U izveštaju organizacije [“Freedom House”](https://freedomhouse.org/country/serbia/freedom-world/2026) za 2026. godinu upozorava se da vladajuća stranka u Srbiji „kontinuirano erodira politička prava i građanske slobode, vršeći pravni i vanpravni pritisak na nezavisne medije, političku opoziciju i organizacije civilnog društva“. ## Lokalne zajednice i civilno društvo na prvoj liniji fronta protiv Specijalizovane izložbe EKSPO 2027 Bes javnosti zbog nepoštovanja bezbednosnih standarda i korupcije u javnim projektima kulminirao je 1. novembra 2024. godine, nakon što se urušila nadstrešnica nedavno renovirane železničke stanice u Novom Sadu. Ovaj tragičan događaj pokrenuo je talas masovnih protesta širom zemlje i poslužio kao najstrašniji primer rizika sa kojima se Srbija suočava. Taj incident je razotkrio dva ključna problema: **Bezbednost i odgovornost:** Uprkos građanskoj mobilizaciji i protestima koji traju duže od godinu ipo dana, nijedan odgovorni pojedinac niti kompanija nije krivično gonjen, što direktno ukazuje na sistemsku zaštitu privilegovanih aktera od strane režima. - [Pad nadstrešnice u Novom Sadu: ukinut pritvor Vesiću i Momiroviću](https://www.bbc.com/serbian/articles/cn47xjzq395o/lat) - [Više tužilaštvo u Novom Sadu najavilo žalbu nakon obustave postupka optuženih za pad nadstrešnice](https://n1info.rs/vesti/vise-tuzilastvo-u-novom-sadu-najavilo-zalbu-nakon-obustave-postupka-protiv-optuzenih-za-pad-nadstresnice/) - [Izgoreo kabinet tužioca JTOK-a koji vodi slučaj nadstrešnica](https://n1info.rs/vesti/novars-izgoreo-kabinet-tuzioca-jtok-a-koji-vodi-slucaj-nadstresnica/) - [Nadstrešnica: tri postupka, potvrđeno pola od jedne optužnice](https://www.bbc.com/serbian/articles/cg7e12nj2veo/lat) **Nedostatak transparentnosti**: Državni građevinski poslovi dodeljuju se konzorcijumima sa dokumentovanim političkim vezama, mimo tendera.

Do danas, BIE nije odgovorio na ovo zvanično upozorenje. Uprkos tome, u intervjuu za časopis Forbes u februaru 2026. godine, gospodin Kerkentzes je tvrdio da je „otvoren za dijalog i spreman da razgovara sa građanima Srbije o njihovim brigama“. - Nastavljaju se kontinuirani masovni protesti studenata i građana.

Glavna železnička stanica „Prokop“ u Beogradu – gradu domaćinu EKSPO izložbe – predstavlja identičan primer. Ova stanica je puštena u rad i pre zvaničnog otvaranja u oktobru 2023. godine. Do danas, „Prokop“ nije dobio upotrebnu dozvolu, a svakodnevno ga koriste hiljade putnika. Za to postoje dva osnovna razloga: prvo, radovi nisu izvedeni u skladu sa građevinskom dozvolom; i drugo, ne postoje nikakvi dokumentovani dokazi da je objekat prošao obavezan tehnički pregled. Na nosećim stubovima već su se pojavile pukotine. - [Stanica Prokop bez upotrebne dozvole i tehničke dokumentacije za zaštitu od požara](https://www.danas.rs/vesti/drustvo/stanica-prokop-bez-upotrebne-dozvole-i-tehnicke-dokumentacije-za-zastitu-od-pozara/) - [Novi slučaj Prokop?

S obzirom na to da bi Beograd trebalo da ugosti milione međunarodnih posetilaca i osoblja tokom EKSPO 2027, ovi strukturni bezbednosni alarmi se ne smeju ignorisati. Oslanjanje na infrastrukturu koja se gradi uz zaobilaženje svih standardnih bezbednosnih protokola stvara visokorizično okruženje u kojem bi „uobičajeno poslovanje“ moglo dovesti do još katastrofa. ## Srpski umetnici pozivaju međunarodnu umetničku zajednicu na bojkot izložbe EKSPO 2027 U [otvorenom pismu](https://www.ietm.org/en/news/appeal-from-artists-and-cultural-workers-in-serbia), umetnici i naučnici iz Srbije pozvali su međunarodnu umetničku zajednicu na bojkot beogradske EKSPO 2027 izložbe. Oni upozoravaju da režim koristi umetnički i kulturni aspekt ove manifestacije kao paravan za prikrivanje sistemske korupcije i represije nad domaćom kulturnom zajednicom. Pokret Zajednice umetnosti i kulture nastao je u znak solidarnosti sa masovnim studentskim protestima koji su izbili krajem 2024. godine. Kao odmazdu za ovaj bunt, vlast je pokrenula otvoreni progon kulturnih radnika kroz drastične budžetske rezove, cenzuru, profesionalne pritiske i postavljanje politički podobnih kadrova na ključne funkcije. Zajednica umetnosti i kulture ističe da je **budžet za kulturu u Srbiji pao na svega 0,67% ukupne državne potrošnje**, što je najniži nivo u Evropi. Dok su lokalni umetnici gurnuti u ekstremnu finansijsku nesigurnost, ogromna javna sredstva preusmeravaju se na konkurse isključivo povezane sa projektom EKSPO. Na redovnim konkursima za 2026. godinu drastično su smanjena sredstva, uslovi su potpuno nejasni, a članovi komisija koji odlučuju o pobednicima ostali su anonimni javnosti. Nasuprot tome, konkursi za EXPO nudili su veće nagrade i funkcionisali kao direktan poziv celoj kulturnoj sceni na saradnju sa režimom – međutim, odziv umetnika je ostao izuzetno mali. - [Konkurs ](https://www.kultura.gov.rs/konkurs/sr/30/6a193edf38916)za finansiranje projekata u oblasti kulture i umetnosti u okviru „Ekspo 2027 Beograd“ - [Novac iz budžeta za kulturu preusmeren na EKSPO: Vlast ucenjuje celu umetničku scenu](https://www.danas.rs/kultura/novac-iz-budzeta-za-kulturu-preusmeren-na-expo-vlast-ucenjuje-celu-umetnicku-scenu-ili-ste-sa-nama-ili-vas-vise-nece-biti/) Danas; Juni 2026 Kolektiv apeluje na međunarodne kolege da odbiju bilo kakvu zvaničnu saradnju sa ovim projektom i da, umesto toga, pruže direktnu i aktivnu podršku nezavisnoj kreativnoj zajednici u Srbiji. ## Sistemski kolaps Ovi infrastrukturni problemi ne dešavaju se u vakuumu; oni su direktna posledica potpunog sloma sistema institucionalnog nadzora. Nedavni događaji jasno oslikavaju duboku krizu nezavisnosti institucija u Srbiji: - [Policijski upad na univerzitet (31. mart 2026):](https://www.bg.ac.rs/izjava-za-javnost-rektora-vladana-djokica/) Racija na Univerzitetu u Beogradu svesno je narušila akademsku i institucionalnu autonomiju. - [Kontroverzni „Mrdićevi zakoni“](https://www.dw.com/en/serbia-critics-decry-attack-on-judicial-independence-and-increase-in-political-control-of-judiciary/a-75799216): Ove zakonodavne izmene, koje se trenutno nalaze pod lupom Venecijanske komisije, prete da potpuno demontiraju mehanizme kontrole i ravnoteže neophodne za transparentno upravljanje državom. Kada policija može nekažnjeno da upada na univerzitete, a zakoni se kroje tako da eliminišu svaku kontrolu, kapacitet za nezavisni nadzor nad megaprojektima poput EKSPO 2027 praktično više ne postoji. ### Zaključak Infrastruktura je jaka samo onoliko koliko su jake i nezavisne institucije koje je nadgledaju. Sve dok Srbija ne vrati institucionalnu odgovornost i ne dokaže da njeni „prestižni“ projekti ispunjavaju osnovne pravne i tehničke bezbednosne standarde, put ka izložbi EKSPO 2027 ostaje izuzetno opasan i neizvestan poduhvat. --- ### [Pravna perspektiva](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/pravna-perspektiva/) **Published:** March 22, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ## Lex specialis za EKSPO 2027: Legalizovana netransparentnost Posebnim [zakonom usvojenim za projekat EKSPO 2027 u Beogradu](https://www.mfin.gov.rs/propisi/zakon-o-posebnim-postupcima-radi-realizacije-meunarodne-specijalizovane-izlobe-expo-belgrade-2027-slubeni-glasnik-rs-br-922023), kao i njegovom kasnijom [dopunom](https://www.paragraf.rs/izmene_i_dopune/231025-zakon-o-izmenama-i-dopunama-zakona-o-posebnim-postupcima-radi-realizacije-medjunarodne-specijalizovane-izlozbe-expo-belgrade-2027.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com), vlasti su stvorile pravni okvir koji omogućava trošenje javnih sredstava **bez primene Zakona o javnim nabavkama**. **Član 14. Zakona o EKSPO 2027** predviđa osnivanje državnih preduzeća sa statusom investitora, na koja se Zakon o javnim nabavkama neće primenjivati. Umesto toga, ova preduzeća će sama **definisati sopstvena pravila za javne nabavke i „obezbeđivanje transparentnosti postupka“.** Drugim rečima: institucije koje troše javni novac same određuju kako će ga trošiti. Ova odredba je operacionalizovana kroz Uredbu o pravilima postupka javne nabavke robe, usluga ili radova neophodnih za **realizaciju EKSPO BEOGRAD 2027** („Službeni glasnik RS“, br. 8/2024), koju je Vlada usvojila 6. februara 2024. godine. **Transparentnost Srbija** je u Ustanvom sudu podnela **inicijativu** za ocenu ustavnosti člana 14. Zakona o EKSPO (pod nazivom [Poseban zakon za EXPO i njegova primena](https://www.transparentnost.org.rs/images/dokumenti_uz_vesti/Poseban_zakon_EXPO.pdf)), ukazujući na ozbiljna proceduralna i ustavna pitanja, uključujući: - kršenje procedura prilikom donošenja zakona; - isključivanje EXPO projekata iz sistema javnih nabavki; - davanje ovlašćenja Vladi da uredbom reguliše oblast koja uopšte nije regulisana zakonom. Posebno je problematično to što je ovakvo izuzeće suprotno međunarodnim obavezama Srbije, uključujući i Sporazum o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju Evropskoj uniji, koji izričito zahteva transparentne i konkurentne javne nabavke. Pored toga, zakon je usvojen bez javne rasprave i konsultacija, iako član 77. Zakona o državnoj upravi obavezuje državne organe da obezbede učešće javnosti u izradi zakonskih rešenja. - [”EXPO 2027: Igra(j) za čovečanstvo” – Bezbednost i zdravlje ljudi NISU IGRA](https://reri.org.rs/expo-2027-igraj-za-covecanstvo-bezbednost-i-zdravlje-ljudi-nisu-igra/), RERI Pregled veb stranice **Ministarstva finansija** i portala **[ekonsultacije ](https://ekonsultacije.gov.rs/)**potvrđuje da nikakva diskusija sa javnošću nije vođena. Istovremeno, javnosti nikada nisu predstavljene analize ključnih posledica ovog zakona: - kako će uticati na vlasnike zemljišta koje je predmet eksproprijacije; - da li se povećavaju rizici od korupcije i preplaćivanja projekata; - da li se smanjuje kvalitet i ugrožava nadzor nad izgradnjom; - na koji način se štiti javni interes. Ova pitanja i dalje ostaju bez odgovora. Zakon o EKSPO 2027 zato predstavlja opasan presedan kojim se veliki infrastrukturni projekti potpuno isključuju iz sistema kontrole i transparentnosti — i to upravo u trenutku kada se troše milijarde evra narodnog novca. ### Ukratko ![Infographic about EXPO 2027 Lex specialis: left column planning law, 45-day public debate; right column EXPO law, 15-day debate and reforms.b Two-column graphic showing policy changes for EXPO 2027: left lists planning law, 45-day consultation, standard procurement limits; right lists special expo law, 15-day consultation, removed appeals, higher procurement thresholds.b Icons of clock, gavel, and money bag flank a comparison: planning law with 45-day debate vs EXPO 2027 law with 15 days, with changes to appeals and thresholds.

To znači da se milijarde evra javnog novca mogu trošiti kroz poseban, paralelan pravni režim. Srpski *lex specialis* je fundamentalno neuporediv sa sličnim aktima donetim za Olimpijske igre u Parizu ili Svetsku izložbu u Osaki. Dok su tamošnji zakoni služili kao privremeni, projektno specifični okviri za globalne događaje, srpski model donosi trajno zaobilaženje standardnih pravnih i urbanističkih zaštita, koje se proteže daleko izvan samog projekta Ekspo. - [Da li su upotrebne dozvole bile ukinute i za Olimpijske igre u Parizu i Svetsku izložbu u Osaki kako to tvrdi direktor EXPO 2027](https://n1info.rs/vesti/upotrebne-dozvole-ukidanje-expo-osaka-i-olimpijske-igre-u-francuskoj/) ## Kako ovo funkcioniše? **Država osniva posebne kompanije**.

Ipak, umesto da reaguje na ovaj dokumentovani zločin u toku, tužilaštvo je odugovlačilo. Ministarstvo građevinarstva je konačno 10. septembra 2025. godine odobrilo ispravljenu dozvolu za Fazu II. Nekoliko dana kasnije, tužilaštvo je odbacilo prijavu RERI-ja, proglasivši je „nevažnom“ jer investitor sada poseduje dozvolu. **Odbijanjem da istraži hronologiju događaja na samom terenu, pravosudni sistem namerno izbegava dokumentovanje dokaza o izvršenom krivičnom delu**.

Izvor: [Gavrilo Andrić](https://protesti.pics/nema-pregovora)Ključni pokazatelj ovog sistematskog zlostavljanja je potreba da građani dokumentuju sopstveni progon. Kao odgovor na inertnost pravosuđa, koje niti beleži niti procesuira napade, Zajednica umetnosti i kulture (ZUK) je kreirala „[Hroniku represije u kulturi](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zqKcnMgzTuWM6LjUVsRkMlqa84AVO4xD/view)“. Ova inicijativa teži da spreči izolaciju žrtava i da posluži kao kolektivni zapis svih slučajeva u kojima državne institucije nisu reagovale. Za samo mesec dana (novembar-decembar 2025), ZUK je prikupio 37 detaljnih izveštaja o represiji u devet gradova, uključujući Beograd, Novi Sad i Zaječar. Samo postojanje ove hronike ukazuje na nedostatak poverenja u institucije da štite građanska prava i brane pojedince od nasilja. Kako je **Radna grupa UN** primetila, kada država ne istražuje nasilje, „nekažnjivost postaje norma“, a žrtve ostaju kao jedini arhivisti sopstvene patnje. Nezavisni mediji poput Mašine opisali su ovaj period kao godinu [„iščašenih vilica, razbijenih glava i polomljenih noseva,“](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zqKcnMgzTuWM6LjUVsRkMlqa84AVO4xD/view) koje policijski izveštaji rutinski izostavljaju. - Izveštaj [UN Radne Grupe](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), Maj 2026, paragraf 17 ### Direktna osveta: Otpuštanja, mobing i crne liste Hronika ZUK dokumentuje ličnu i štetnu represiju, usmerenu na pojedinačne egzistencije i mentalno zdravlje kroz mere koje daleko prevazilaze zvanične institucionalne kanale. - **Otpuštanja i mobing**: Baza podataka detaljno opisuje nekoliko politički motivisanih otpuštanja. Na primer, Momir Pejatović, tehničar sa 22 godine iskustva u Narodnom pozorištu u Leskovcu, otpušten je u februaru 2025. godine zbog podrške studentskim protestima. Do novembra njegov slučaj uopšte nije uzet na razmatranje pred sudom. U Novom Sadu, dvanaest baletskih igrača iz Srpskog narodnog pozorišta je primorano je na prevremenu penziju zbog podrške studentima. Zamenjeni su stranim igračima, dok su lokalnim diplomcima vrata ostala zatvorena. - **Psihološki uticaj**: Žrtve prijavljuju značajne psihološke tegobe. Jedan od ispitanika se žalio na „stres i pakao… 8 meseci bez ijednog dinara prihoda“, što je rezultiralo nemogućnošću otplate hipoteke i teškom anksioznošću. - **Crne liste**: U privatnom sektoru „crne liste“ funkcionišu diskretno, ali efikasno. Muzičarima i glumcima prepoznatiljvim po učešću u pobuni zabranjen je pristup javnim medijiskim servisima i privatnim klubovima. Prema izveštaju, producenti se suočavaju sa „nemogućnošću plasmana realizovanog rada“ i „zabranama rada u drugim produkcijama“, što praktično gasi karijere bez ikakvog formalnog objašnjenja. - [Hronika represije u kulturi](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zqKcnMgzTuWM6LjUVsRkMlqa84AVO4xD/view) ### Institucije kao oružje: Upotreba pravila kao instrumenata kontrole Država upotrebljava birokratiju kao oružje protiv neistomišljenika. **Najnoviji interni propisi i disciplinska pravila u velikim institucijama, kao što su Narodno pozorište u Beogradu i muzeji, sada zahtevaju od zaposlenih pismenu dozvolu za bilo kakav kontakt sa medijima ili davanje javnih izjava**. Ove mere su osmišljene upravo da bi se ućutkali kritičari i nametnula apsolutna lojalnost. Štaviše, proizvoljni propisi o protivpožarnoj bezbednosti postali su čest izgovor za otkazivanje nastupa nezavisnih umetnika koji su podržali proteste, dok se provladini događaji nesmetano odigravaju u istim tim ustanovama. U Zaječaru i drugim mestima, direktori su pretili zatvaranjem čitavih institucija i otpuštanjem svih zaposlenih ukoliko se nastavi sa podrškom protestima – praktično koristeći egzistenciju kolektiva kao oružje za pritisak na nekoliko ciljanih aktivista. - [Hronika represije u kulturi](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zqKcnMgzTuWM6LjUVsRkMlqa84AVO4xD/view) **Izveštaj Radne grupe UN potvrđuje ove navode, dokumentujući „smanjenje građanskog prostora“ u kojem se organizacije civilnog društva suočavaju sa zastrašivanjem i nadzorom.** U izveštaju se izdvaja podatak da je u januaru 2025. godine 29 organizacija civilnog društva obustavilo svaku saradnju sa vladinim institucijama upravo zbog ovih pritisaka.

Ova inicijativa je direktan odgovor na duboku zabrinutost zbog institucionalne netransparentnosti i korupcije. Zajednica ističe da međunarodno učešće zapravo doprinosi „pranju reputacije“ režima, a njihov poziv eksplicitno traži od stranih institucija da vladine propagandne poruke ne tumače kao autentični glas srpskih umetnika. - [Serbia’s Artists Call for International Boycott of Expo 2027 as Cultural Repression Deepens](https://creativesunite.eu/article/serbia-s-artists-call-for-international-boycott-of-expo-as-cultural-repression-deepens), May 2026 **Za građane je EKSPO postao alatka za sprovođenje državne discipline.

Urbanisti i ekološki aktivisti upozoravaju da EKSPO i prateći projekti direktno ugrožavaju beogradski savski nasip i vitalnu zonu vodosnabdevanja „Surčinsko polje“. Ono što najviše zabrinjava jeste činjenica da odredbe posebnog zakona (lex specialis) omogućavaju nastavak gradnje uz drastično smanjen zakonski i stručni nadzor. - [Beogradski EXPO 2027: Senke i sjaj](https://cep.org.rs/publikacije/beogradski-expo-2027-senke-i-sjaj/), CEP, Decembar 2023 - [EXPO 2027 blokiran nakon upozorenja da ugrožava savski nasip u Beogradu](https://www.masina.rs/expo-2027-blokiran-nakon-upozorenja-da-ugrozava-savski-nasip-u-beogradu/), Masina, Februar 2025 Izveštaj Radne grupe UN dokumentuje ozbiljne propuste u upravljanju životnom sredinom koji dodatno uvećavaju ove rizike. Zaključuje se da studije o proceni uticaja na životnu sredinu u Srbiji često „izostavljaju obavezne elemente“, kao i da se veliki projekti namerno usitnjavaju (veštački dele na manje celine) kako bi se izbegle zakonske obaveze. Radna grupa takođe napominje da trenutni propisi omogućavaju realizaciju masivnih projekata bez ikakve sveobuhvatne ekološke provere. Zbog toga UN preporučuje Vladi Srbije da povuče ili izmeni poseban pravni okvir za EKSPO 2027 i vrati redovne mehanizme zaštite, kao i javni nadzor definisan zakonima o javnim nabavkama, planiranju i izgradnji. Na kraju, ove ekološke kritike prate one kulturne i društvene, ogoljavajući političku spremnost da se dugoročno ekološko blagostanje žrtvuje zarad kratkoročnog spektakla. - [Izveštaj radne grupe UN](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), Maj 2026, paragraf 35 Pogledajte detaljan izveštaj iz ekološke perspektive [ovde](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/ekoloska-perspektiva/ "Ekološka perspektiva"). ## Kontrast između zvaniče propagande i realnog života Kao i kulturni sektor, i mnogi drugi delovi društva se nasilno kanališu ka EKSPO-u: - Značajna smanjenja budžeta pogodila su projekte namenjene poboljšanju kvaliteta života osoba sa invaliditetom. Ministarstvo za rad, zapošljavanje, boračka i socijalna pitanja sada zahteva [da svaki odobreni projekat mora biti tematski povezan sa projektom EKSPO.](https://www.minrzs.gov.rs/sr/konkursi/javni-konkurs-za-finansiranje-i-podrsku-programima-zastite-i-unapredjenja-polozaja-osoba-sa-invaliditetom-u-republici-srbiji-u-2026-godini) - [EKSPO 2027 je nasilno uvršten u školski kalendar u Srbiji](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/expo-2027-has-been-written-into-serbias-school-calendar/). Iako ministarstvo navodi da učešće nije obavezno za sve učenike, škole su u obavezi da planiraju aktivnosti vezane za ovaj događaj. Međutim, trenutno ne postoji nikakav plan logističke ili finansijske podrške, niti je definisan jasan nastavni plan za angažovanje učenika na samoj izložbi. - Ministarstvo finansija je najavilo da će studenti koji volontiraju na projektu EKSPO dobiti dodatne ESPB bodove kao podsticaj za akademsko napredovanje. Iako bi ovo bilo opravdano da je usklađeno sa fakultetskim programima, [sa univerziteta poručuju da uopšte nisu konsultovani](https://n1info.rs/biznis/volontiranje-studenata-expo-2027-espb-bodovi-rektorat-nije-konsultovan/). Ostaje nejasno ko će osmišljavati volonterske aktivnosti studenata i na koji način će one biti akademski priznate. Pored toga, prijave se procesuiraju preko posebnog EKSPO portala, a ne preko samih univerziteta. Ovaj proces svesno zaobilazi javne univerzitete umesto da im omogući da studentima pruže smisleno i stručno praktično iskustvo. Zvanična propaganda predstavlja EKSPO 2027 kao priliku da se prikaže kreativnost Srbije i privuku investicije. Međutim, postupci ukazuju na potpuno ignorisanje jasnih indikatora o prisustvu prinudnog rada. Američka uprava za carinu i zaštitu granica (US Customs and Border Protection, CBP) **blokirala je uvoz iz najmanje dve kompanije koje posluju u Srbiji zbog sumnje na prinudni rad** – [u decembru 2025. godine](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-issues-withhold-release-order-linglong-international-europe-doo) (Linglong International Europe D.O.O., Zrenjanin) [i u junu 2026. godine](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-issues-withhold-release-order-serbia-zijin-copper-doo) (Serbia Zijin Copper D.O.O.). Umesto da pokrene istragu, vlada bira tišinu. Naprotiv, [predsednik Vučić je u maju 2026. ponosno najavio nove investicije Linglonga](https://www.danas.rs/vesti/ekonomija/vucic-u-kini-dogovorena-953-miliona-evra-novih-investicija-za-srbiju/), samo pet meseci nakon što je ta kompanija stavljena na američku crnu listu. U ovom poslovnom i političkom okruženju, mnogi građani – uključujući osobe sa invaliditetom, studente, nastavnike, umetnike i radnike migrante – osećaju da je EKSPO nešto što im se nameće, a ne projekat u kojem učestvuju. **Njihovi budžeti se režu i uslovljavaju učešćem u projektu, njihov rad se iznuđuje po nepovoljnim uslovima, na njihove institucije se vrši pritisak, dok njihovi opravdani protesti nailaze na policijske kordone.** Zaključak Radne grupe UN odražava upravo ovaj duboki društveni **nesklad**. U njemu se naglašava da se „razvojni projekti i investicije sve više realizuju na pogrešnoj pretpostavci da su ekonomski razvoj i zaštita ljudskih prava nespojivi“. Izveštaj upozorava da, iako **privlačenje stranih investicija može imati legitiman cilj, „ekonomski ciljevi nisu adekvatno uravnoteženi sa održivim korišćenjem resursa, zaštitom ljudskih prava i životne sredine**“. Jaz između promotivnih slogana i surove svakodnevnice jeste upravo ono što pokreće sve domaće i međunarodne kampanje protiv ovog projekta. - [Izveštaj radne grupe UN](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), Maj 2026, paragraf 111 Dokazi civilnog sektora, istraživačkih novinara i Ujedinjenih nacija pokazuju da beogradski EKSPO 2027 odražava šire, opasne promene u srpskom društvu. Specijalizovani zakoni, preraspodela socijalnih sredstava, prisilno volontiranje i kulturni pritisak stvaraju rigidan sistem u kojem pristup resursima, vidljivost i lična bezbednost sve više zavise od povezanosti sa ovim projektom. Preporuke Radne grupe UN bave se upravo ovim institucionalnim izazovima, zahtevajući obaveznu procenu uticaja na ljudska prava (due diligence), zaštitu civilnog sektora i hitno vraćanje zakonskih mehanizama zaštite za EKSPO 2027. Trenutno, zvanični slogan „Igra(j) za čovečanstvo“ (Play for Humanity) stoji u oštrom, gotovo ciničnom kontrastu sa izveštajima o osobama sa invaliditetom koji čekaju na elementarne usluge, studentima kojima se nameće neplaćeni rad, umetnicima koji biraju između bojkota i bankrota, i stranim radnicima koji u strahu beže od inspektora rada. Smanjenje društvenih troškova projekta EKSPO 2027 zahtevaće od domaćih i međunarodnih aktera da osiguraju da kulturna diplomatija i demokratija ne dođu na teret onih čiji rad i uskraćena prava zapravo omogućavaju ovaj događaj. - [Izveštaj radne grupe UN](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), Maj 2026, paragraf 10 --- ### [Ekološka perspektiva](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/ekoloska-perspektiva/) **Published:** March 16, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ## **EKSPO 2027 i ekološki rizici za Surčinsko donje polje** Izgradnja kompleksa EKSPO 2027 i Nacionalnog fudbalskog stadiona u Surčinu odvija se **na ekološki osetljivom području od izuzetnog hidrološkog i ekološkog značaja.** Ovo područje se nalazi u neposrednoj blizini **glavnih izvora vode za piće u Beogradu**. **Podzemne vode** **su ovde na relativno malim dubinama**, što čitav ekosistem čini izuzetno ranjivim na kontaminaciju i promene u vodnom režimu. ### ******Pretnja vodi za piće u Beogradu****** Projekat direktno ugrožava Surčinsko polje, jedno od ključnih vodoizvorišta koje snabdeva Beograd sa oko 30% vode za piće. Najveći deo planiranog kompleksa nalazi se u široj zoni sanitarne zaštite beogradskog vodoizvorišta (zona III), dok se manji deo proteže kroz užu (zona II) i neposrednu (zona I) zonu zaštite. Ove zone su uspostavljene upravo da bi se sprečilo zagađenje podzemnih voda koje građani koriste za piće. Projekat predviđa izgradnju visokih zgrada i stadiona koji zahtevaju bušenje dubokih temelja. Ovakav metod gradnje dozvoljen je u zaštićenim zonama samo pod izuzetnim okolnostima i uz najstrože mere zaštite. Ukoliko se te mere ne sprovedu, kvalitet podzemnih voda biće ozbiljno ugrožen, što bi potencijalno moglo da dovede do zatvaranja postrojenja za prečišćavanje vode ili čak do trajnog gubitka samog vodoizvorišta. - [(Nenadović, Tekić & Đorđević, 2018).](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324196505_Environmentally-based_structural_design_criteria_for_buildings) Studija o uticaju na životnu sredinu, koja je zakonski neophodna za dobijanje građevinske dozvole, nije sprovedena pre početka izgradnje stadiona. Umesto toga, ona se radila uporedo sa građevinskim radovima, što predstavlja nezakonitu gradnju. [Izveštaj o strateškoj proceni uticaja prostornog plana područja posebne namene “Nacionalnog fudbalskog stadiona – IV faza” na životnu sredinu](https://razmena.appurs.gov.rs/uploads/2026/04/SPU-NFS_IV-faza.pdf) navodi: **”S obzirom na planiranu izgradnju koja može imati značajan kumulativni uticaj na hidrološki režim ovog područja neophodno je uraditi sveobuhvatnu studiju i za svaki pojedinačni objekat proveriti mogućnost realizacije i definisati mere i uslove iste. Posebno voditi računa o tome kako će se planirana izgradnja odraziti na kvalitet voda i kapacitet bunara beogradskog vodoizvorišta.

Bez ikakve dodatne studije, na terenu je već pobijeno 2.300 dubokih armiranobetonskih šipova, iako njihov uticaj na životnu sredinu u zoni III sanitarne zaštite uopšte nije razmatran. Kakve će posledice ovi radovi ostaviti na podzemne vode i vodu koju Beograđani piju – niko ne zna. [ RERI (Renewables and Environmental Regulatory Institute](https://reri.org.rs/en/)) je podneo krivičnu prijavu protiv ministra finansija Siniše Malog, koji vodi ovaj projekat. Konačna studija je nepotpuna i očigledno pokušava da zanemari uticaj dubokih šipova na izvorište i potencijalno zagađenje podzemnih voda. Zbog toga je RERI pokrenuo tužbu i protiv Ministarstva zaštite životne sredine. - [Tužba radi poništaja saglasnosti na Studiju o proceni uticaja na životnu sredinu Nacionalnog fudbalskog stadiona](https://reri.org.rs/podneli-smo-tuzbu-radi-ponistaja-saglasnosti-na-studiju-o-proceni-uticaja-na-zivotnu-sredinu-projekta-izgradnje-nacionalnog-fudbalskog-stadiona/) ### Rizik od poplava, zagađenje vode i kapacitet bunara - Projekat obuhvata intervencije duž savskog nasipa, koji trenutno štiti Novi Beograd od poplava. - Građevinski radovi se odvijaju u **zoni sanitarne zaštite** gde plan zaštite izvora vode **zabranjuje probijanje** vodonosnog sloja. To predstavlja ogroman **rizik** za brojne planirane objekte koji se oslanjaju na šipove, **čime se direktno krše sanitarni uslovi**. Ovakva situacija otvara brojne tačke kroz koje **kontaminirana površinska voda može, bez ikakve prirodne filtracije, direktno da prodre u podzemne izvore vode**. Jedan od najvećih razloga za zabrinutost jeste to što trenutno dostupan projekat za kompleks EKSPO u Surčinu uopšte **[ne predviđa postrojenje za prečišćavanje otpadnih voda](https://nova.rs/vesti/politika/radovi-za-expo-2027-ne-predvidjaju-preciscavanje-otpadnih-voda-iz-kompleksa/)**. Kompleks će, zbog prisustva hiljada zaposlenih, stanara i posetilaca, generisati ogromne količine komunalnih, pa čak i industrijskih otpadnih voda. Bez adekvatnog prečišćavanja, postoji ozbiljan **rizik da se ta zagađena voda direktno ispušta u postojeće drenažne kanale**, poput kanala Galovica, a preko njega dalje u **reku Savu**. Pored toga, izgradnja međunarodnog pristaništa u hidrološkoj zoni bunara sa sobom nosi rizike od: • zagađenja vode usled građevinskih aktivnosti i rečnog saobraćaja; • promene u hidrodinamici i taloženju sedimenta; • poremećaje u podzemnim vodenim tokovima; • mehanička oštećenja samog sistema bunara; • smanjenje kapaciteta prirodne filtracije tla; • dugoročni rizik od smanjenja kapaciteta samih bunara - [Koja su rešenja za bezbedne objekte i životnu sredinu](https://forbes.n1info.rs/novac/expo-nacionalni-stadion-i-podzemne-vode-koja-su-resenja-za-bezbedne-objekte-i-zivotnu-sredinu/), Forbes, Avgust 2025 ### Uništavanje visokokvalitetnog poljoprivrednog zemljišta Ukupna planirana površina projekta EKSPO trenutno obuhvata 813,65 hektara. Od toga čak 74,3% (604,32 ha) čini poljoprivredno zemljište najviše klase (uglavnom II-1 klase), koje spada među najplodnije u Srbiji. **Samo 15% zemljišta u celoj državi poseduje ovaj nivo kvaliteta, što ga čini neprocenjivim resursom za proizvodnju hrane.** Na tih 604,32 hektara najplodnije zemlje biće izgrađen Nacionalni fudbalski stadion (koji je Vlada Republike Srbije pravno povezala sa projektom EKSPO) zajedno sa pratećom infrastrukturom – stambenim zgradama, saobraćajnicama i halama. Sa druge strane, **za zelene površine planirano je svega 0,4% odnosno skromna 3,09 hektara**. [Izveštaj o uticaju na životnu sredinu: Nacionalni fudbalski stadion](https://razmena.appurs.gov.rs/uploads/2026/04/SPU-NFS_IV-faza.pdf) navodi: „*Rekonstrukcija objekata treba da bude predmet provere opravdanosti. Posebno kada se uzme u obzir činjenica da se ove poljoprivredne površine nalaze u zonama sanitarne zaštite Beogradskog izvorišta.*“ Građevinski radovi uveliko traju, a opravdanost projekta nikada nije zvanično utvrđena. ### ****Nasipanje zemljišta materijalima nepoznatog porekla**** Zbog visokog nivoa podzemnih voda i aluvijalnog (rečnog) sastava tla, teren zahteva masovno nasipanje kako bi se nivo zemlje podigao za 3 do 5 metara. Ovo stvara dodatne rizike za obližnje Reni bunare (konkretno između bunara 46 i 47). Ključna pitanja ostaju bez odgovora: - Odakle potiče materijal kojim se teren nasipa? - Ko je i kako verifikovao njegov hemijski sastav? - Da li je uopšte procenjen njegov potencijalni uticaj na podzemne vode? Na području koje se nalazi unutar zona zaštite vode, svaka kontaminacija tla može imati katastrofalne posledice po bezbednost vode za piće. ### Uticaj na zaštićena ekološka područja Delovi projektne zone preklapaju se sa važnim ekološkim celinama, među kojima su: - područje ekološke mreže „Ušće Save i Dunava“; - međunarodni ekološki koridori duž reke Save; - potencijalna područja evropske mreže Natura 2000, uključujući lokalitete: - Surčin - Ušće Save i Dunava i Pančevački rit Ova područja su prepoznata i zaštićena strogim direktivama Evropske unije o zaštiti životne sredine, uključujući: - Direktivom o staništima (92/43/EEZ) - Direktivom o pticama (2009/147/EZ) Uprkos tome, projekat predviđa samo 0,4% zelenih površina, što otvara ozbiljno pitanje kako država planira da očuva ove ključne ekološke koridore i njihov biodiverzitet. ### Zanemarene mere zaštite životne sredine Čak i sama studija zaštite životne sredine propisuje stroge zaštitne mere, kao što su: - očuvanje melioracionih kanala - zaštitu priobalne vegetacije - očuvanje velikih stabala i prirodnih elemenata pejzaža Međutim, pošto su radovi počeli pre završetka studije, većina ovih mera je u praksi potpuno ignorisana. Na primer: - **kanalizacioni sistem Batajnica**, koji je neophodan za upravljanje otpadnim vodama sa ovog područja, **još uvek nije izgrađen** - Iako studija jasno naglašava da **zgrade na ovom terenu ne bi smele da imaju podzemne konstrukcije, na terenu se uveliko postavljaju duboki temelji i šipovi**. - [Anatomija urbanog planiranja i ekološki skandal](https://www.courrierdesbalkans.fr/Serbie-EXPO-2027-anatomie-d-un-scandale-urbanistique-et-environnemental) ## ****Projekat delfinarijuma u Beogradu — retrogradni skok u urbanizmu i etici**** Predložen projekat izgradnje akvarijuma i delfinarijuma na lokaciji Ušće predstavlja radikalan otklon od savremenih standarda urbanog planiranja i demokratskog upravljanja gradom. Ovaj projekat, koji je **predstavljen potpuno netransparentno – bez javne rasprave i konsultacija sa strukom**, [otvara ozbiljna pitanja fiskalne odgovornosti, očuvanja životne sredine, ali i zaštite životinja i etičkih princip](https://www.danas.rs/vesti/drustvo/delfinarijum-usce/)a.

U trenutku kada se država ekstremno zadužuje, prvenstveno radi finansiranja EKSPO 2027, čiji je delfinarijum deo, preusmeravanje javnog novca u grandiozne komercijalne projekte krajnje je upitno. Odsustvo bilo kakve analize troškova i dobiti jasno pokazuje da su interesi građana podređeni sumnjivim investitorskim prioritetima. ### Ekološka degradacija parka Ušće Izbor lokacije je posebna tačka spoticanja. Park Ušće je jedna od poslednjih značajnih zelenih oaza Beograda, od vitalnog značaja za: - očuvanju biodiverziteta u prenaseljenom urbanom jezgru; - prečišćavanju vazduha i regulaciji mikroklime u centru grada; - obezbeđivanju otvorenog, nekomercijalizovanog prostora koji je besplatno dostupan svim građanima. Pretvaranje ove retke zelene površine u betonsko komercijalno središte nanelo bi nepovratnu štetu javnom prostoru i ekološkom fondu Beograda. ### Etički principi i globalni trendovi Dok Srbija planira izgradnju delfinarijuma, razvijeni svet se kreće u potpuno suprotnom smeru. Države poput Francuske, Kanade, Meksika, Hrvatske, Slovenije i Indije zakonom su zabranile držanje i uzgoj morskih sisara u zatočeništvu radi zabave. Ova zakonska rešenja utemeljena su na jasnim naučnim činjenicama o morskim sisarima (kitovima i delfinima): - Inteligencija: Delfini su izuzetno inteligentna, svesna i društvena bića čije je složene biološke i psihološke potrebe nemoguće zadovoljiti u veštačkim bazenima. - Dobrobit životinja: Život u zatočeništu kod ovih životinja dokazano izaziva [hronični stres, poremećaje u ponašanju i drastično prevremenu smrtnost](https://faada.org/entertainment-dolphinariums-problems-associated-with-a-life-in-captivity). Za zemlju koja nema izlaz na more, niti bilo kakvu institucionalnu tradiciju u oblasti morske biologije, logistički i etički rizici održavanja ovakvog sistema su ekstremno visoki. U Srbiji ne postoji nikakva prirodna niti kulturna povezanost sa ovakvim projektima. Štaviše, stanje u domaćim zoološkim vrtovima i azilima za životinje već je alarmantno loše. **Brojna istraživanja i svedočenja iz zooloških vrtova na Paliću i u Beogradu redovno prikazuju životinje u jezivim uslovima, bolesne i na ivici smrti**. Ista slika je i u prihvatilištima za napuštene životinje: psi se drže u nehumanim uslovima, sprovodi se prevremena i nepotrebna eutanazija, dok se novac iz budžeta namenjen njihovoj nezi često troši nenamenski. - [Životinje u zoološkom vrtu na Paliću pate](https://nova.rs/vesti/drustvo/nps-o-potresnim-prizorima-iz-zoo-vrta-na-palicu-zasto-institucije-cute-dok-se-pred-ocima-javnosti-odvija-patnja-i-umiranje-zivotinja) - [Radnici otpušteni jer su govorili o kršenju veterinarske etike](https://nova.rs/vesti/politika/ssp-radnici-zoo-vrta-palic-dobili-otkaze-jer-su-govorili-o-krsenju-veterinarske-etike/) - [Dok psi ginu u skloništima, vlada zloupotrebljava javni novac](https://www.ozonpress.net/hronika/dok-psi-umiru-u-azilima-vlast-zloupotrebljava-javni-novac/) Ako država nije u stanju da obezbedi dostojanstvene uslove za domaće životinje i pse, potpuno je jasno da ista, surova sudbina čeka delfine u betonskim bazenima. Ulaganje u prevaziđene i retrogradne modele zabave, kao što je delfinarijum, ne samo da stavlja Srbiju na stub srama pred međunarodnim ekološkim standardima, već direktno uništava arhitektonski i prirodni integritet najlepše beogradske rečne obale. --- ### [Take Action Starter](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/take-action-starter/) **Published:** March 2, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** Our users reported that sending emails via our platform doesn’t work in Firefox; please use a different browser. --- ### [Uključi se - piši BIE](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/ukljuci-se-pisi-bie/) **Published:** July 29, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** --- ### [Legal Perspective](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/legal-perspective/) **Published:** March 21, 2026 **Author:** t.potter.11@proton.me **Content:** ## ***Lex specialis* for EXPO 2027: Legalised Non-Transparency** Through [a special law adopted for the EXPO 2027 project](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/law-on-special-procedures-for-the-implementation-of-the-international-specialized-exhibition-expo-belgrade-2027/) in Belgrade, and an [addendum to this special law](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/law-on-amendments-to-the-law-on-special-procedures-for-the-realization-of-the-international-specialized-exhibition-expo-belgrade-2027/), the authorities have created a legal framework that allows the spending of public funds **without applying the Law on Public Procurement.** **Article 14 of the EXPO 2027 Law** provides for the establishment of state-owned companies that have the status of investors and that will not apply the Law on Public Procurement, but **will instead define their own procurement rules and the “ensuring of transparency of the procedure”.** In other words: institutions that spend public money determine themselves how that money will be spent. This provision has been operationalised through the Regulation on the rules of the procurement procedure for goods, services or works necessary for the **implementation of EXPO BELGRADE 2027** (“Official Gazette of the RS”, No. 8/2024), adopted by the Government on 6 February 2024. **Transparency Serbia** has submitted **an initiative** [(“Special EXPO Law and its application”)](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Special_Law_for_EXPO-and-its-application.pdf) to the Constitutional Court to assess the constitutionality of Article 14 of the EXPO Law, citing serious procedural and constitutional issues, including: - violation of procedures during the adoption of the law; - exclusion of EXPO projects from the public procurement system; - granting the Government authority to regulate, by decree, an area that is not regulated by law at all. It is particularly problematic that such an exemption is contrary to Serbia’s international obligations, including the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union, which requires transparent and competitive public procurement. Additionally, **the law was adopted without public debate and without consultations with the public, although Article 77** of the Law on State Administration obliges state bodies to ensure public participation in the drafting of laws. - [“EXPO 2027: PLAY for Humanity” – Human safety and health is NOT A GAME](https://reri.org.rs/en/expo-2027-play-for-humanity-human-safety-and-health-is-not-a-game/) A review of the **Ministry of Finance** website and the **e-Consultations** portal confirms that no such discussion took place. At the same time, the public has never been presented with analyses of the key consequences of this law: - how it will affect owners of land subject to expropriation - whether the risks of corruption and overpriced projects are increasing - whether the quality and oversight of construction are being reduced - how the public interest is being protected None of these questions have been answered. The EXPO 2027 Law therefore represents a precedent in which massive public projects are excluded from systems of control and transparency: precisely at a time when billions of euros of public funds will be spent. ### In short ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/08-Lex-specialis.jpg)For the purposes of EXPO 2027, the government has adopted a special law that allows large public projects to be carried out outside the standard public procurement system. This means that billions of euros of public money can be spent under a special legal regime. Serbian *lex specialis* remains fundamentally incomparable to those of the Paris Olympics or the Osaka World Expo, as the latter serve as temporary, project-specific frameworks for global events, whereas the Serbian model is a permanent circumvention of standard legal and urban planning protections, far beyond the scope of the Expo project. - [Did Paris Olympics and Osaka Expo waive occupancy permits too, as EXPO 2027 director claims?](https://n1info.rs/english/news/did-paris-olympics-and-osaka-expo-waive-occupancy-permits-too-as-expo-2027-director-claims/) ## How does this work? **The state establishes special companies** (these companies act as investors for EXPO projects) - [EXPO 2027: Costs and Corruption](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/why-is-expo-so-important-to-vucic-how-the-progressives-are-lining-their-pockets-through-this-project/) - [Entities awarded substantial contracts without public tender procedures](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/these-7-companies-have-already-received-work-on-the-expo-complex-and-the-national-stadium-and-the-work-has-not-even-heated-up/) **These companies are not subject to the Public Procurement Law** This means they are not required to conduct standard tenders, a rigorous and regulated process that ensures taxpayers’ money is spent transparently and efficiently. **The government adopts special rules** [Instead of being regulated by law, procedures are governed by government decrees. ](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/the-devil-is-in-the-details-how-procurement-for-the-expo-will-be-done-it-looks-like-a-law-but-its-still-a-regulation/) **The public has no insight into the processes** Legal oversight mechanisms are significantly weakened. How much money is involved? Estimates suggest that [17.8 billion euros of public funds](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/both-expo-and-the-national-stadium-went-up-in-price-revised-fiscal-strategy-for-2026-was-adopted/) will be spent within EXPO projects.

[Concrete columns were actively rising from the site](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSnqQaRa8w), even though the investor only possessed a Phase I permit strictly limited to preparatory, underground and foundation works. On August 20th, 2025, the Ministry of Construction formally issued a decision to [**reject the Ministry of Finance’s application for the Phase II building permit**](https://forbes.n1info.rs/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/%D0%A0%D0%B5%D1%88%D0%B5%D1%9A%D0%B5-%D0%BE-%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B1%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%9A%D1%83-%D0%92%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B7%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%98%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%99%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%9A%D0%B5_20250825155410.pdf) due to incomplete technical documentation. This rejection officially confirmed that **the aboveground structures clearly visible throughout the summer were illegal.** RERI submitted an urgent appeal demanding that the Public Prosecution immediately dispatch an independent construction expert to document the illegal construction. Yet, instead of acting on this documented crime in progress, the prosecution stalled. On September 10th, 2025, the Ministry of Construction finally approved the corrected Phase II permit. Days later, the prosecution dismissed RERI’s complaint, declaring it “irrelevant” because the investor now had a permit. **By refusing to establish this basic chronological timeline on-site, the judicial system deliberately avoids documenting the evidence of a completed crime.** Unfortunately, this is not a precedent in Serbia, but a pattern. In its April 2026 report on Serbia, the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rightsexplicitly condemned the practice of allowing strategic projects to proceed *“*without all the required permits reflecting significant gaps in state inspection and monitoring.” - [UN Working Group Report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), Page 13, Paragraph 113 --- ### [Osnove - EKSPO 2027](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/osnove-expo/) **Published:** March 22, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ![Collage poster in grayscale with yellow shapes and torn strips of text reading expropriation of land, environmental degradation, and wasteful spending; includes a megaphone and eye image.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/exproprijacija-rs-576x1024.jpeg)Međunarodni biro za izložbe (Bureau International des Expositions – BIE) objavio je u junu 2023. godine da će Republika Srbija biti domaćin Specijalizovane međunarodne izložbe EKSPO 2027 Beograd. Događaj će se održati u Beogradu od 15. maja do 15. avgusta 2027. godine, pod temom „Igra za čovečanstvo – sport i muzika za sve“. Srbija je, kao i ostale zemlje kandidati, zvanično podnela Dosije o priznanju BIE, u kojem su detaljno opisani program i način finansiranja izložbe. Međutim, iako se projekat finansira ogromnim novcem poreskih obveznika, ovaj dokument je ostao potpuno nedostupan građanima Srbije. Vlasti su ga klasifikovale kao poslovnu tajnu, uz obrazloženje da bi njegovo objavljivanje moglo da ugrozi „operativni uspeh” projekta. Zvaničnici tvrde da će EKSPO doneti ekonomski rast celoj zemlji, ali za to ne postoji javno dostupna studija izvodljivosti, niti analiza troškova i koristi. Istovremeno, istorijski primeri sličnih izložbi širom sveta pokazali su da su ovakvi projekti ekonomski neisplativi. Dok organizator podiže sam izložbeni prostor, državama učesnicama se dodeljuju paviljoni koje same prilagođavaju temi. Prema propisima BIE, specijalizovana međunarodna izložba može trajati najduže tri meseca, a njen prostor je strogo ograničen na 25 hektara. [Nasuprot tome, kompleks koji se gradi za beogradski EKSPO trenutno se prostire na čak 813,65 hektara](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/ekoloska-perspektiva/ "Ecological Perspective").

Njihova jedina veza sa izložbom jeste to što će neki od njih biti podignuti na lokaciji EKSPO naselja. - [Izgradnja tematskih parkova, delfinarijuma i Akvatik centra u okviru EKSPO kompleksa neće početi pre 2028. godine](https://www.ekapija.com/news/5289258/construction-of-theme-parks-dolphinariums-and-aquatic-center-within-expo-complex-not), eKapija, Septembar 2025 Za finansiranje 30 novih električnih vozova za beogradsku gradsku železnicu (BG Voz), Vlada Srbije je uzela kredit od 300 miliona evra od Dojče banke, uz podršku Španske agencije za izvozne kredite (CESCE), kako bi tehnički zastarelu i nepouzdanu flotu zamenila vozovima španskog proizvođača CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles), a zatim je predložila zakon o potvrđivanju tog sporazuma. Iako Vlada zvanično pravda ovu hitnu investiciju od 310,44 miliona evra potrebom da se amortizuje priliv putnika za EKSPO 2027, planirani rokovi isporuke pokazuju da vozila neće stići pre kraja 2029. godine — što znači da će se osoblje i posetioci tokom same izložbe i dalje oslanjati na pomenutu zastarelu i nepouzdanu flotu. - [Srbijavoz od Dojče banke uzima kredit od skoro 264 miliona evra za nabavku 30 vozovoa za BG voz](https://n1info.rs/biznis/srbijavoz-kredit-novi-vozovi-bg-voz/), n1, maj 2026 - Generalni sekretar BIE-ja [Dimitri Kerkentzes](https://forbes.n1info.rs/novac/intervju-dimitri-kerkentzes-ne-peremo-imidz-vlade-preko-ekspa-ispitujemo-svaku-optuzbu-o-korupciji/) javno je protivurečio tvrdnjama ministra finansija Siniše Malog, izjavivši da ne može i neće braniti povezivanje 18 milijardi evra drugih infrastrukturnih investicija sa samom izložbom Ekspo. On je insistirao na tome da izložba mora da bude zasebna celina i da košta samo 1–1,3 milijarde evra. Naglasio je da BIE istražuje svaku optužbu za korupciju i da im cilj nije da „popravljaju imidž vlade“, već da osiguraju ispunjavanje tehničkih i bezbednosnih standarda. ## Fiskalna pitanja Fiskalni savet je kritikovao ovaj pristup „planiranja u hodu“, upozoravajući da projekat odvlači resurse iz ključnih oblasti poput zdravstva i beogradskog metroa, dok se istovremeno oslanja na nerealne projekcije rasta i prekomerno zaduživanje, uz opravdanu sumnju u isplativost investicija. - [Politika javnih investicija u Srbiji](https://www.fiskalnisavet.rs/doc/analize-stavovi-predlozi/2024/FS_Javne-investicije-u%20Srbiji-stanje-i-preporuke_FINAL.pdf), Fiskalni Savet, Juni 2024 - Javne investicije na nivou od 7% BDP-a su „izuzetno visoke“.

Cultural journalists assert that this structure constitutes financial blackmail, as artists must either apply for EXPO-branded funds, which implicitly support the government project, or they risk organisational collapse. The crisis extends far beyond funding; it is a systematic campaign of individual retaliation against those who refuse to comply. - [Budget money from culture to EXPO: Regime blackmails the whole culture scene](https://www.danas.rs/kultura/novac-iz-budzeta-za-kulturu-preusmeren-na-expo-vlast-ucenjuje-celu-umetnicku-scenu-ili-ste-sa-nama-ili-vas-vise-nece-biti/), Danas, June 2026 - [Whoever wants to shoot movies, should talk to EXPO](https://vreme.com/kultura/ekspo-expo-2027-filmovi-ministarstvo-kulture/), Vreme, June 2026 ### The Chronicle of Repression: Citizens as Archivists ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Zaga-bez-traga-1024x683.jpg)Protesters are calling on the public prosecutors to act. Source: [Gavrilo Andric](https://protesti.pics/nema-pregovora "Gavrilo Andric")A key indicator of this systematic abuse is the need for citizens to document their own persecution. In response to official silence and a judiciary that does not record or prosecute attacks, the Community of Arts and Culture (Zajednica umetnosti i kulture – ZUK) created the “[Chronicle of Repression in Culture](https://www.ietm.org/sites/default/files/attachements/news/Chronicle%20of%20Repression%20in%20Culture%2C%20Serbia%202025%20%E2%80%93%20Summary.pdf)” (**Hronika represije u kulturi**). This initiative aims to prevent the isolation of victims and to serve as a collective record of all instances where state institutions have failed. Within one month (November–December 2025), ZUK collected 37 detailed reports of repression across nine cities, including Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Zaječar. The chronicle’s existence highlights a lack of trust in institutions to protect rights or acknowledge violence. As the ****UN Working Group noted****, when the state fails to investigate, “****impunity becomes the norm****,” leaving victims as the sole archivists of their own suffering. Independent outlets such as Mašina have described this period as a year of “[dislocated jaws, broken noses, and smashed heads](https://www.masina.rs/srbija-2025-ukratko-dislocirane-vilice-razbijene-glave-polomljeni-nosevi/)” that police reports routinely omit. - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraph 17 ### Direct Retaliation: Firings, Mobbing, and Blocklists ****The ZUK Chronicle documents repression that is both personal and damaging, targeting individual livelihoods and mental health through measures that extend far beyond official institutional channels.**** - **Terminations and Mobbing**: The database details several politically motivated dismissals. For example, Momir Pejatović, a technician with 22 years at the National Theatre in Leskovac, was dismissed in February 2025 for supporting student protests. By November, his case still remained unheard in court. In Novi Sad, twelve ballet dancers from the Serbian National Theatre were forced into early retirement for supporting students and replaced by foreign dancers, while local graduates were denied positions. - **Psychological Impact**: Victims report significant psychological distress. One respondent described the experience as “stress and hell… 8 months without a single dinar of income,” resulting in the inability to pay mortgages and severe anxiety. - **Blocklists**: In the private sector, “blocklists” function discreetly but effectively. Musicians and actors known for dissent are banned from public broadcasters and private clubs. According to the mapping report, producers face the “impossibility of placing realised work” and “bans on working in other productions,” effectively ending careers without formal explanation. - [Chronicle of Repression in Culture](https://www.ietm.org/sites/default/files/attachements/news/Chronicle%20of%20Repression%20in%20Culture%2C%20Serbia%202025%20%E2%80%93%20Summary.pdf) ### Institutional Weaponisation: The Use of Rules as Instruments of Control The state has weaponised bureaucracy to suppress dissent. **Recent internal regulations** **and disciplinary rules at major institutions, such as the National Theatre in Belgrade and museums, now require employees to obtain written permission for any media contact or public statement.** These measures are explicitly designed to silence critics and enforce loyalty. Furthermore, arbitrary fire safety regulations are frequently cited to cancel performances by independent artists who supported protests, while pro-government events continue uninterrupted in the very same venues. In Zaječar and other locations, directors have threatened to close entire institutions and dismiss all staff if employees continue supporting protests—effectively weaponising the livelihoods of the majority to pressure a few targeted activists. - [Chronicle of Repression in Culture](https://www.ietm.org/sites/default/files/attachements/news/Chronicle%20of%20Repression%20in%20Culture%2C%20Serbia%202025%20%E2%80%93%20Summary.pdf) **The UN Working Group’s report confirms this by documenting a “shrinking civic space” where civil society organisations face intimidation and surveillance**. The report specifically notes that in January 2025, 29 civil society organisations suspended all cooperation with government bodies due to these pressures. The Working Group also highlighted the use of **strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs)** targeting journalists and activists, with 14 cases recorded in 2025. - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraphs 25, 28 ### The final appeals of the Serbian cultural sector Current conditions in the cultural sector have prompted the **Community of Arts and Culture to launch a boycott campaign, urging international colleagues to avoid EXPO 2027**. This initiative directly responds to deep concerns regarding institutional non-transparency and corruption. The group argues that **international participation ultimately contributes to the regime’s image laundering**, and their appeal explicitly asks foreign institutions not to mistake state-sponsored messaging for the authentic voice of Serbian artists. - [Serbia’s Artists Call for International Boycott of Expo 2027 as Cultural Repression Deepens](https://creativesunite.eu/article/serbia-s-artists-call-for-international-boycott-of-expo-as-cultural-repression-deepens), May 2026 **For individual citizens, EXPO has been transformed into a tool for enforcing state discipline. Dissent is not only discouraged but** actively **criminalised**, exposing critics to severe risks including criminal records, imprisonment, social exclusion, physical harm, and professional repercussions. **The “Chronicle” serves as evidence of this reality, recording acts of resistance within a system designed to suppress** them. ## **Protest Movements and the Remaking of Public Space** EXPO 2027 has become a focal point for broader social unrest. Architecture students, urban activists, and local citizens have organised demonstrations linking the mega-project to chronic issues of national debt, systemic corruption, and environmental risk. Protesters argue the project will impose crippling financial burdens on future generations and actively threaten Belgrade’s primary water sources.” - [EXPO blocked after the warning that it endangers Sava embankment](https://www.masina.rs/expo-2027-blokiran-nakon-upozorenja-da-ugrozava-savski-nasip-u-beogradu/), Masina, February 2025 - [International meeting on EXPO happened next to student and citizen protests in Belgrade](https://www.slobodnaevropa.org/a/expo-sastanak-beograd-protest-studenti-srbija/33438879.html), Slobodna Evropa, June 2025 These protests rapidly aligned with wider student mobilisations following the catastrophic canopy collapse in Novi Sad. The UN Working Group confirmed the **severity of the state’s subsequent response**, noting that peaceful demonstrators were subjected to a **disproportionate use of force, including the alleged deployment of a long-range acoustic device, assaults by unidentified individuals, and arbitrary arrests**. These reprisals carried significant personal consequences: students were expelled from universities for disrupting public order; professors lost tenure for publicly supporting their students; activists faced terrorism-related criminal charges simply for posting stickers; and journalists received death threats for reporting on the site. - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraph 23 These are not abstract violations of civic space but targeted **acts of repression** against individuals. The UN report further notes that dozens of activists faced criminal proceedings after the protests, with many subjected to hostile state-media campaigns labeling them as “enemies of the State.” - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraph 27 ## International Implications **The socio-cultural controversy surrounding EXPO is no longer confined within Serbia’s borders, as European institutions have noted broader rule-of-law concerns.** [This section](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/political-perspective/ "Political Perspective") documents how European Parliament resolutions urge governments to “take into account serious concerns and evidence of widespread corruption linked to the ruling authorities.” **The UN Working Group’s report reinforces these international concerns**, stating that the “lack of transparency in public procurement processes, with resultant questions about corruption, was frequently mentioned as a cause of serious concern.” The report specifically highlights that EXPO 2027 procurement was entirely exempt from standard public tender requirements. In response,**[ civil society groups have submitted formal notices to the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) ](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/formal-notice-concerning-systemic-legal-violations-corruption-and-safety/ "Formal Notice Concerning Systemic Legal Violations, Corruption, and Safety")**outlining alleged systematic legal violations, backed by a public [petition that gathered over **120,000 signatures**](https://peticije.kreni-promeni.org/petitions/stop-korupciji-otkazi-expo). - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraph 16 ## Effects on construction workers **Labour conditions at EXPO construction sites reveal deep-seated, underlying social hierarchies**. Investigations show that dozens of foreign workers from Turkey, China, and other nations have worked **without legal contracts or permits**, with some forced to flee when inspectors arrive. Reports indicate that these workers have been **misled about their legal status, threatened with non-payment, and made entirely dependent on their employers for accommodation—all of which serve as clear indicators of severe labour exploitation.** - [Illegal Works on the EXPO: Working off the Books and Fleeing from Construction Site](https://www.cins.rs/en/illegal-works-on-the-expo-working-off-the-books-and-fleeing-from-construction-site/), CINS, March 2026 - [56 Illegal Workers on EXPO](https://forbes.n1info.rs/biznis/propisi/otkrivamo-na-ekspo-dosad-otkriveno-56-neprijavljenih-radnika-i-tri-slucaja-povreda-ovo-su-kompanije-i-preduzetnici-zateceni-u-prekrsaju/), Forbes, 2026 The Working Group documented cases where foreign workers incurred recruitment debts of up to US$10,000, had their passports confiscated, and faced delayed wages and intimidation. The report explicitly links these abuses to “weak State oversight” and a heavy reliance on complex, opaque subcontracting chains. - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraphs 78, 79 This exploitation stands in stark contrast to a project heavily promoted as a European-style festival of openness and play. By depending on the precarious labour of migrant workers, the state reinforces a hierarchy that renders these individuals invisible and expendable. Read more from our [construction perspective](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/construction-perspective/ "Construction Perspective"). ## **Ecological Controversies as a Backdrop** Although this social perspective does not focus on **environmental issues**, it provides **important context for socio-cultural conflict**. Urbanists and environmental activists warn that EXPO and its related projects directly threaten Belgrade’s Sava riverbank and the vital Surčinsko polje water-supply zone. Crucially, lex specialis provisions allow construction to proceed with severely reduced legislative oversight. - [Belgrade’s EXPO 2027 shining light and shadows](https://cep.org.rs/en/publications/belgrades-expo-2027-shining-light-and-shadows/), CEP, December 2023 - [EXPO blocked after the warning that it endangers Sava embankment](https://www.masina.rs/expo-2027-blokiran-nakon-upozorenja-da-ugrozava-savski-nasip-u-beogradu/), Masina, February 2025 **The UN Working Group’s report documents significant failures in environmental governance** that amplify these risks. It finds that environmental impact assessments (EIAs) in Serbia often “omit mandatory elements” and that large-scale projects are intentionally fragmented to bypass legal requirements. The Working Group also notes that current regulations allow major projects to proceed without comprehensive environmental scrutiny. Consequently, the UN recommends that the government withdraw or amend the special legal framework for Expo 2027 and restore existing safeguards and public oversight of public procurement, planning, and construction laws. Ultimately, these environmental concerns echo the broader cultural and social critiques, exposing a political willingness to sacrifice long-term ecological well-being for a short-term spectacle. - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraph 35, page 21 A dedicated section on ecological issues is [available here](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/ecological-perspective/ "Ecological Perspective"). ## Contrasting Official Narratives with Lived Realities Similar to the cultural sector, other areas of society are being directed toward participation in the EXPO. - Significant [budget cuts](https://vreme.com/ekonomija/nova-ekonomija-expo-napred-invalidi-stoj/) have affected projects aimed at improving the lives of persons with disabilities. The Ministry for Labour, Employment and Social Rights now requires[ that any submitted project be linked to the EXPO.](https://www.minrzs.gov.rs/sr/konkursi/javni-konkurs-za-finansiranje-i-podrsku-programima-zastite-i-unapredjenja-polozaja-osoba-sa-invaliditetom-u-republici-srbiji-u-2026-godini) - [EXPO 2027 has been added to Serbia’s school calendar.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/expo-2027-has-been-written-into-serbias-school-calendar/) Although the ministry states that not all students are required to participate, schools must still plan for the event. However, there is currently no clear guidance regarding logistical or financial support, nor is there a defined curriculum for student engagement at the exhibition. - The Ministry of Finance announced that students who volunteer for the EXPO will receive additional ESPB points to support their academic progress. While this could be appropriate if aligned with faculty curricula, the [university stated that it was not consulted](https://n1info.rs/biznis/volontiranje-studenata-expo-2027-espb-bodovi-rektorat-nije-konsultovan/). It remains unclear who will determine the nature of student volunteer activities and how these will be academically recognised. Additionally, applications are being processed through a specialised EXPO portal rather than through universities. To date, this process bypasses public universities instead of enabling them to offer meaningful, practical experiences for students. Official narratives present EXPO 2027 as an opportunity to showcase Serbia’s creativity and attract investment. However, recent actions suggest a lack of attention to concerns about forced labour. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) **blocked imports from at least two companies operating in Serbia for forced labour violations** in [December 2025](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-issues-withhold-release-order-linglong-international-europe-doo) (Linglong International Europe D.O.O., Zrenjanin) and in [June 2026](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-issues-withhold-release-order-serbia-zijin-copper-doo) (Serbia Zijin Copper D.O.O.). Rather than investigating, the government has remained silent. On the contrary, [president Vučić proudly announced new investments by Linglong](https://www.intellinews.com/serbia-secures-nearly-1bn-in-new-chinese-investments-445185/) in May 2026, only five months after they were placed on the CBP no-import list. In this type of business and political environment, many citizens, including persons with disabilities, students, teachers, artists, and migrant workers, experience that EXPO is something being done *to* them rather than *with* them. **Their budgets are cut and blackmailed with EXPO participation, their labour is solicited on unfavourable terms, their institutions are pressured, and their protests are met with police cordons**. The UN Working Group’s conclusion mirrors this **disconnect**. It stresses that “development projects and investment seem increasingly pursued on the flawed assumption that economic development and human rights protections are incompatible”. The report warns that while **promoting foreign investment may serve a legitimate aim, “economic objectives are not adequately balanced with sustainable resource use and the protection of human rights and the environment**”. The gap between promotional slogans and everyday reality is precisely what fuels the growing domestic and international campaigns against the project. - [UN Working Group report](https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/62/36/ADD.1), May 2026, paragraph 111 Evidence from civil society, investigative journalists, and the United Nations shows that Belgrade EXPO 2027 reflects broader shifts in Serbian society. Exceptional laws, reallocation of social funds, coercive volunteering, and cultural pressure are creating a system where access to resources, visibility, and security increasingly depend on association with the project. The UN Working Group’s recommendations address these institutional challenges, including the mandatory human rights due diligence, protection of civil society, and restoration of legal safeguards for EXPO 2027. At present, the slogan “Play for Humanity” stands in contrast to reports of disabled citizens awaiting services, students assigned unpaid work, artists choosing between boycott and bankruptcy, and migrant workers avoiding inspectors. Reducing the social costs of EXPO 2027 will require domestic and international stakeholders to ensure that cultural diplomacy and democracy do not come at the expense of those whose labour and rights support the event.

Reports from relevant international bodies indicate a significant deficit in the rule of law and the weakening of democratic institutions, creating an environment of uncertainty for international partners and investors. The European Parliament, European Commission, and European Economic and Social Committee have all recognized serious issues related to the Specialized Expo project. Local initiatives, NGOs, field experts, and academia have unanimously voiced concerns that the specialized exhibition project has grave legal and economic issues and that it does not benefit the local population. ## **European Institutions Recognise Systemic Corruption Issues** **The European Parliament (EP)** has expressed [profound concern regarding pervasive corruption and the non-transparent expenditure of public funds](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2025-0248_EN.html) in Serbia. Within the context of Belgrade EXPO 2027, particular emphasis has been placed on **safety concerns** and the absence of independent oversight for large-scale infrastructure projects, directly undermining the integrity of the upcoming Expo event. This resolution also points out that legislation is circumvented and that “legal redress and tender submission deadlines” are not compliant with EU standards. ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/what-eu-says.jpg)**The European Economic and Social Committee**, together with civil society representatives of Serbia, [has supported the demands of the local population](https://n1info.rs/english/news/eu-serbia-civil-society-committee-support-for-student-demands-concerns-over-expo-jadar/) while issuing a warning over the non-transparency of the Specialized Expo project. **The Government of Sweden** has decided to [review its support to Serbia](https://www.government.se/press-releases/2025/11/government-to-review-serbian-reform-support/) in accordance with the principles of a merit-based enlargement of the EU.

Finally, in its 2026 report, [Freedom House](https://freedomhouse.org/country/serbia/freedom-world/2026) warns that the ruling party “has steadily eroded political rights and civil liberties, putting legal and extralegal pressure on independent media, the political opposition, and civil society organisations.” ## **Local communities and civil society on the frontline against Specialised EXPO 2027** Discontent regarding safety and corruption in public projects culminated after the collapse of the canopy at the newly renovated Novi Sad Railway Station on 1 November 2024, sparking an unprecedented wave of protests in the country.

The current Serbian administration has more to offer: **Central Railway Station “Prokop” in Belgrade, the host city of EXPO 2027**, is another one. The station was in use even prior to its official opening in October 2023. To this day, “Prokop” has not obtained an occupancy permit, despite thousands of passengers using the facility daily. There are two primary reasons for this: first, the construction work was not executed in line with the issued building permit; and second, there is no documented evidence that the building has passed a technical inspection. The load-bearing columns are cracked. - [Station Prokop without a use permit and technical documentation for fire protection](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/station-prokop-without-a-use-permit-and-technical-documentation-for-fire-protection/) - [A new case of Prokop?

With Belgrade set to host millions of international guests and staff for EXPO 2027, these structural red flags should not be ignored. The reliance on facilities that bypass standard safety protocols creates a high-stakes environment where “business as usual” could lead to another disaster. ## International art community invited to boycott EXPO 2027 by Serbian peers An [open letter](https://www.ietm.org/en/news/appeal-from-artists-and-cultural-workers-in-serbia) from Serbian artists and scholars is urging the international art community to boycott BelgradeExpo 2027 because the government is using the artistic aspect of the event to whitewash severe cultural repression and systemic corruption. The Movement Community of Arts and Culture (Zajednica umetnosti i kulture) grew out of solidarity with student protests that erupted in late 2024. In response, the government is heavily targeting cultural workers through severe budget cuts, censorship, professional retaliation, and political appointments. Art and Culture Community points out that ****Serbia’s culture budget has plummeted to just 0.67%**** of government spending – the lowest in Europe – leaving local artists in extreme financial insecurity while massive public funds are diverted to the tenders for projects exclusively related to EXPO. While regular tenders had lower rewards in 2026 than in previous years, with unclear terms and unknown members of the committee deciding who wins the tender, EXPO tenders had higher rewards and sent out a polite invitation to the entire cultural scene; however, there was little response. - [Expo tender](https://www.kultura.gov.rs/konkurs/sr/30/6a193edf38916) for culture and arts - [Financing forwarded from Culture to EXPO](https://www.danas.rs/kultura/novac-iz-budzeta-za-kulturu-preusmeren-na-expo-vlast-ucenjuje-celu-umetnicku-scenu-ili-ste-sa-nama-ili-vas-vise-nece-biti/), Danas, May 2026 Ultimately, the collective is asking global peers to reject official collaboration with the event and instead offer direct, active support to the independent creative community inside Serbia. ## A Systemic Collapse These infrastructure failures do not happen in a vacuum; they are a direct result of a crumbling oversight system. Recent events underscore a broader crisis of institutional independence in Serbia: - [The March 31, 2026 Police Raid](https://www.bg.ac.rs/speech-of-the-rector-of-university-of-belgrade/ "The March 31, 2026 Police Raid"): The unprecedented raid on the University of Belgrade signaled a sharp turn away from academic and institutional autonomy. - [The “Mrdic Laws” Controversy](https://www.dw.com/en/serbia-critics-decry-attack-on-judicial-independence-and-increase-in-political-control-of-judiciary/a-75799216 "The “Mrdic Laws” Controversy"): Currently under the microscope of the Venice Commission, these legislative shifts threaten to dismantle the very checks and balances required for transparent state governance. When the police can enter a university with impunity and laws are rewritten to bypass scrutiny, the capacity for independent oversight of massive projects like EXPO 2027 effectively vanishes. ### The Bottom Line Infrastructure is only as strong as the institutions that oversee it. Until Serbia restores independent accountability and ensures its “prestige” projects meet basic legal and technical safety standards, the road to EXPO 2027 remains a dangerous one. --- ### [O Nama](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/sr/o-nama/) **Published:** March 27, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ## Ko smo mi Mi smo decentralizovana mreža istraživača, aktivista i građana.

The erosion of public procurement standards and competitive transparency.² 2. The circumvention of judicial and administrative oversight mechanisms.³ 3. Environmental non-compliance with national and EU-aligned regulations.⁴ 4. Geopolitical dependencies arising from non-transparent intergovernmental agreements with the People’s Republic of China.⁵ 5. The systemic suppression of civil society and dissent linked to project opposition.⁶ Recent findings from the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and the UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Business and Human Rights corroborate these risks, explicitly calling for the amendment or withdrawal of the EXPO special legal framework to restore democratic safeguards.⁷ ## Legislative Framework: The “Lex Specialis” A specific legal framework adopted for this project allows the spending of public funds without applying the Law on Public Procurement. This exemption is contrary to Serbia’s international obligations, including the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union, which requires transparent and competitive public procurement.³ **Key Points:** - **Procurement Exemption:** Article 14 explicitly exempts “EXPO companies” from the Law on Public Procurement, permitting direct contract awards without competitive tendering.⁸ The UN Working Group confirmed it was “alarmed” that this framework permits contracts valued up to €1 billion to be awarded without bidding, noting that 86% of tenders already awarded received only a single bid.⁹ - **Permitting Waivers:** The law authorises construction and operation of facilities without standard urban planning permits, including occupancy permits for a period of up to two years post-completion.¹⁰ - **Centralised Authority:** It empowers the Government to issue decrees regulating procurement procedures, a mechanism critics argue constitutes an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power.¹¹ - **Scope Expansion:** The law bundles EXPO-specific facilities with a broader infrastructure package (323 projects), including 500 km of highways and 2,000 km of railways, effectively extending exemptions to sectors unrelated to the exhibition.¹² **Legal Challenges:** - **Constitutional Court:** An initiative filed by Transparency Serbia in January 2024 challenges the constitutionality of Article 14, citing violations of legislative procedure and incompatibility with the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU. A ruling remains pending.¹³ - **Lack of Public Consultation:** The law was adopted without the mandatory public debate required under Article 77 of the Law on State Administration.¹⁴ - **International Condemnation:** The UN Working Group explicitly recommended that the Government “withdraw or amend the special legal framework for Expo 2027 and restore existing safeguards and public oversight.”¹⁵ ## Systemic Risks and Compliance Gaps ### Governance and Rule of Law - **Procurement Irregularities:** Data indicates approximately 86% of EXPO-related contracts have received only a single bid, suggesting a lack of genuine competition.⁹ The absence of legal recourse eliminates mechanisms for unsuccessful bidders to challenge discriminatory conditions, contravening EU Directive 2014/24/EU principles.¹⁶ - **Institutional Concentration:** The European Parliament Think Tank characterises the governance model as exhibiting a “heavy concentration of power” and weakened checks and balances, correlating with increased civil unrest.¹⁷ The AFET draft report notes that EU-related reforms have stalled or backslid, particularly regarding the rule of law and media freedom.¹⁸ - **Democratic Indicators:** Freedom House (2025) classifies Serbia as “Partly Free,” noting declines in judicial independence.¹⁹ The AFET report expresses deep concern over the “deepening political crisis” and mass protests reflecting the public’s reaction to systemic corruption and lack of accountability.²⁰ - **Project Pretext:** Most mega-projects associated with the “Jump into the Future” investment plan use EXPO mainly as a pretext. Construction of the aquarium, dolphinarium, and theme park will not start until 2028—well after EXPO ends.²¹ ### Infrastructure Safety and Contractor Due Diligence - **National Stadium:** The €600 million–€1 billion flagship project is being executed by Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) via a non-competitive intergovernmental agreement.¹¹,²² - **Novi Sad Precedent:** The CRIC–CCCC consortium, currently executing major EXPO-linked rail infrastructure, was the primary contractor for the Novi Sad railway station renovation. The station’s canopy collapse in November 2024 resulted in 16 fatalities.²³ - **Investigation Status:** The UN Working Group highlighted the collapse as a catalyst for protests, noting the “lack of quick and transparent relevant information” and an unclear process for charging key individuals and businesses.²⁴ The AFET report calls for “full transparency, accountability and judicial independence” in these proceedings.²⁵ - **Oversight Deficits:** The waiver of independent external audits and reliance on contractor self-inspection raises critical safety concerns. The UN report emphasizes that the absence of independent oversight mechanisms for EXPO 2027 is a source of serious concern.⁹ - **Delayed Infrastructure:** To fund 30 new electric trains, the government secured a loan justified by the urgent need to handle the EXPO 2027 passenger influx. However, delivery is scheduled for late 2029, meaning visitors will rely on an obsolete fleet.²⁶ ### Environmental and Urban Planning Violations - **Land Use:** The 813.65-hectare site comprises 74.3% high-quality agricultural land (Category II-1). Only 0.4% is designated as green space.⁴ - **Water Security:** The site overlaps with Sanitary Protection Zones of the Surčin polje water source, supplying 30% of Belgrade’s drinking water.²⁷ Installation of 2,300 deep reinforced-concrete pillars occurred without a prior Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).²⁸ - **Systemic EIA Failures:** The UN Working Group observed that EIAs in Serbia are frequently segmented to avoid scrutiny or omit mandatory elements, a practice exemplified by major development projects.²⁹ It noted that meaningful community participation in environmental decision-making is “inadequate or non-existent.”³⁰ - **Ecological Networks:** The project encroaches upon the “Sava–Danube Confluence” ecological corridor, conflicting with EU Directives.³¹ The Serbian Academy of Sciences has issued formal alerts regarding “irreversible environmental damage.”³² - **EU Backsliding:** The AFET report reiterates the importance of protecting environmental standards, noting that reforms in this area have shown significant backsliding, directly impacting projects like EXPO.³³ ### Geopolitical and Financial Implications - **Chinese Strategic Presence:** Chinese entities hold a significant portion of major infrastructure contracts. PowerChina alone manages approximately €4 billion in projects since 2012.³⁴ - **Confidentiality Clauses:** The 2009 Framework Agreement allows for direct contracting and classifies loan and contract terms as state secrets, hindering public accountability.³⁵ The UN report highlights that international investment agreements in Serbia often provide robust investor protections while human rights safeguards remain weak or non-enforceable.³⁶ - **Budgetary Opacity:** The bundled infrastructure package totals €17.8 billion. The lack of competitive tendering obscures true market costs.²⁴,³⁷ - **International Complicity:** The current regime proceeds with the documented acquiescence of international partners, evidenced by continued foreign direct investment and the European Commission’s release of pre-accession funds despite explicit warnings from UN and EU bodies regarding the erosion of rule-of-law standards.⁷,⁹ ### Suppression of Dissent and Civil Society - **Shrinking Civic Space:** The UN Working Group received troubling reports of intimidation, surveillance, and attacks targeting journalists and activists who opposed harmful business practices.³⁸ - **Repression of Protest:** The AFET report condemns the “unlawful arrest and expulsion of EU citizens” who supported student protests and rejects government allegations of foreign interference.³⁹ It calls for targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for human rights violations.⁴⁰ - **Legal Harassment:** The use of strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) has increased, with 14 cases recorded in 2025 alone, imposing significant burdens on activists.⁴¹ The UN report also expressed concern over the proposed “foreign agent law,” warning it would have a chilling effect on civil society.⁴² ## Comparative Analysis: International Standards ParameterEXPO 2027 (Serbia)Paris 2024 / Osaka 2025**Legal Basis**Permanent legislative exemption (“Lex Specialis”)Temporary, event-specific regulatory adjustments**Scope of Exemptions**Extends to national transport networksStrictly limited to event venues and logistics**Oversight Mechanisms**Suspended; limited judicial reviewRobust independent auditing and judicial oversight**Permitting**Waived for up to 2 years post-completionFull compliance with building and safety codes**Civil Society Role**Restricted; reports of intimidation and SLAPPsProtected; formal consultation mechanisms\*Sources: Comparative analysis derived from official BIE reports, French Senate inquiries, Japanese Ministry guidelines, and UN/EU findings.\*⁴³,⁴⁴ ## Conclusion While EXPO 2027 presents an opportunity for Serbia to demonstrate developmental progress, the current implementation framework poses substantial risks to the rule of law, environmental sustainability, and public safety. The systematic bypassing of established legal procedures undermines Serbia’s commitments under the Stabilisation and Association Agreement and may risk future EU accession negotiations. Critically, both the UN Human Rights Council Working Group and the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs have identified the EXPO legal framework as a focal point of democratic backsliding. The UN has explicitly recommended the withdrawal or amendment of the “Lex Specialis” to restore oversight. Immediate corrective actions are required to align the project with international best practices, ethical standards, and EU accession criteria.

A közbeszerzési szabványok és a versenyalapú átláthatóság eróziója.² 2. A bírósági és közigazgatási felügyeleti mechanizmusok megkerülése.³ 3. A nemzeti és az EU-hoz igazított szabályozásoknak való környezetvédelmi meg nem felelés.⁴ 4. A Kínai Népköztársasággal kötött, nem átlátható kormányközi megállapodásokból eredő geopolitikai függőségek.⁵ 5. A projekttel szembeni ellenálláshoz kapcsolódó civil társadalom és ellenzéki hangok szisztematikus elnyomása.⁶ Az Európai Parlament Külügyi Bizottságának (AFET) és az ENSZ Emberi Jogi Tanácsa Üzleti és Emberi Jogi Munkacsoportjának közelmúltbeli megállapításai megerősítik ezeket a kockázatokat, és kifejezetten az EXPO különleges jogi keretrendszerének módosítására vagy visszavonására szólítanak fel a demokratikus garanciák helyreállítása érdekében.⁷ ## **Jogi keretrendszer: A „Lex Specialis”** A projektre elfogadott sajátos jogi keretrendszer lehetővé teszi a közpénzek elköltését a közbeszerzési törvény alkalmazása nélkül. Ez a mentesség ellentétes Szerbia nemzetközi kötelezettségeivel, beleértve az Európai Unióval kötött Stabilizációs és Társulási Megállapodást, amely átlátható és versenyalapú közbeszerzést ír elő.³ **Főbb pontok:** - **Közbeszerzési mentesség:** A 14. cikk kifejezetten mentesíti az „EXPO-vállalatokat” a közbeszerzési törvény alól, lehetővé téve a szerződések közvetlen odaítélését versenyalapú pályáztatás nélkül.⁸ Az ENSZ munkacsoportja megerősítette, hogy „megdöbbenéssel” értesült arról, hogy ez a keretrendszer akár 1 milliárd euró értékű szerződések pályáztatás nélküli odaítélését is lehetővé teszi, megjegyezve, hogy a már odaítélt pályázatok 86%-ára mindössze egyetlen ajánlat érkezett.⁹ - **Engedélyezési mentességek:** A törvény lehetővé teszi a létesítmények építését és üzemeltetését a szokásos várostervezési engedélyek nélkül, beleértve a használatbavételi engedélyeket a befejezést követő legfeljebb két évig.¹⁰ - **Centralizált hatalom:** Felhatalmazza a kormányt, hogy a közbeszerzési eljárásokat szabályozó rendeleteket adjon ki, amely mechanizmus a bírálók szerint a jogalkotói hatalom alkotmányellenes átruházását jelenti.¹¹ - **A hatókör kiterjesztése:** A törvény az EXPO-specifikus létesítményeket egy szélesebb infrastrukturális csomaggal (323 projekt) vonja össze, beleértve 500 km autópályát és 2000 km vasútvonalat, gyakorlatilag kiterjesztve a mentességeket a kiállításhoz nem kapcsolódó ágazatokra is.¹² **Jogi kihívások:** - **Alkotmánybíróság:** A Transparency Serbia által 2024 januárjában benyújtott kezdeményezés vitatja a 14. cikk alkotmányosságát, jogalkotási eljárási szabálysértésekre és az EU-val kötött Stabilizációs és Társulási Megállapodással (STM) való összeegyeztethetetlenségre hivatkozva. A döntés még várat magára.¹³ - **A lakossági konzultáció hiánya:** A törvényt az államigazgatási törvény 77. cikke által előírt kötelező nyilvános vita nélkül fogadták el.¹⁴ - **Nemzetközi elítélés:** Az ENSZ munkacsoportja kifejezetten javasolta, hogy a kormány „vonja vissza vagy módosítsa az Expo 2027 különleges jogi keretét, és állítsa vissza a meglévő garanciákat és a társadalmi felügyeletet”.¹⁵ ## **Rendszerszintű kockázatok és megfelelési hiányosságok** ### **Irányítás és jogállamiság** - **Közbeszerzési szabálytalanságok:** Az adatok azt mutatják, hogy az EXPO-val kapcsolatos szerződések körülbelül 86%-ára csak egyetlen ajánlat érkezett, ami a valódi verseny hiányára utal.⁹ A jogorvoslat hiánya kizárja a sikertelen pályázók számára a diszkriminatív feltételek megtámadásának mechanizmusait, ami sérti a 2014/24/EU uniós irányelv elveit.¹⁶ - **Intézményi koncentráció:** Az Európai Parlament Kutatószolgálata (Think Tank) szerint az irányítási modellt „a hatalom erős koncentrációja” és a fékek és egyensúlyok gyengülése jellemzi, ami korrelál a fokozódó polgári elégedetlenséggel.¹⁷ Az AFET jelentéstervezete megjegyzi, hogy az EU-val kapcsolatos reformok elakadtak vagy visszafejlődtek, különösen a jogállamiság és a médiaszabadság tekintetében.¹⁸ - **Demokratikus mutatók:** A Freedom House (2025) Szerbiát a „részben szabad” kategóriába sorolja, megjegyezve a bíróságok függetlenségének hanyatlását.¹⁹ Az AFET-jelentés mély aggodalmát fejezi ki a „mélyülő politikai válság” és a tömeges tüntetések miatt, amelyek a lakosság reakcióját tükrözik a szisztematikus korrupcióra és az elszámoltathatóság hiányára.²⁰ - **Projekt-ürügy:** A „Ugrás a jövőbe” beruházási tervhez kapcsolódó óriásprojektek többsége az EXPO-t főként csak ürügyként használja. Az akvárium, a delfinárium és a vidámpark építése csak 2028-ban kezdődik meg – jóval az EXPO befejezése után.²¹ ### **Infrastrukturális biztonság és a kivitelezők átvilágítása** - **Nemzeti Stadion:** A 600 millió – 1 milliárd euró értékű kiemelt projektet a Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) hajtja végre egy nem versenyalapú kormányközi megállapodás révén.¹¹,²² - **Az újvidéki precedens:** A CRIC–CCCC konzorcium, amely jelenleg az EXPO-hoz kapcsolódó jelentős vasúti infrastruktúrát építi, az újvidéki vasútállomás felújításának fővállalkozója volt. Az állomás előtetőjének 2024 novemberi omlása 16 halálos áldozatot követelt.²³ - **A nyomozás állása:** Az ENSZ munkacsoportja kiemelte, hogy az omlás a tüntetések katalizátora lett, megjegyezve „a gyors és átlátható releváns információk hiányát”, valamint a kulcsszerepet játszó magánszemélyek és vállalkozások felelősségre vonási eljárásának tisztázatlanságát.²⁴ Az AFET-jelentés „teljes átláthatóságot, elszámoltathatóságot és bírósági függetlenséget” követel ezekben az eljárásokban.²⁵ - **Felügyeleti hiányosságok:** A független külső auditok mellőzése és a kivitelező önellenőrzésére való hagyatkozás komoly biztonsági aggályokat vet fel. Az ENSZ-jelentés hangsúlyozza, hogy a független felügyeleti mechanizmusok hiánya az EXPO 2027 esetében komoly aggodalomra ad okot.⁹ - **Késlekedő infrastruktúra:** 30 új villamos motorvonat finanszírozására a kormány olyan hitelt vett fel, amelyet az EXPO 2027 utasforgalmának sürgős kezelésével indokoltak. A szállítás azonban csak 2029 végére várható, ami azt jelenti, hogy a látogatók egy elavult flottára fognak hagyatkozni.²⁶ ### **Környezetvédelmi és várostervezési jogsértések** - **Földhasználat:** A 813,65 hektáros terület 74,3%-a kiváló minőségű mezőgazdasági földterület (II-1. kategória). Mindössze 0,4%-ot jelöltek ki zöldterületnek.⁴ - **Vízbiztonság:** A terület átfedi a Belgrád ivóvizének 30%-át biztosító Surčin polje vízbázis egészségügyi védelmi övezeteit.²⁷ 2300 mély, megerősített betonpillér telepítése történt meg előzetes környezeti hatásvizsgálat (KHV) nélkül.²⁸ - **Rendszerszintű KHV-hibák:** Az ENSZ munkacsoportja megfigyelte, hogy a környezeti hatásvizsgálatokat Szerbiában gyakran felszeletelik a vizsgálat elkerülése érdekében, vagy kihagynak belőlük kötelező elemeket, amit a nagyobb fejlesztési projektek is jól példáznak.²⁹ Megjegyezte, hogy a közösség érdemi részvétele a környezetvédelmi döntéshozatalban „nem megfelelő vagy nem létezik”.³⁰ - **Ökológiai hálózatok:** A projekt benyúlik a „Száva–Duna torkolat” ökológiai folyosóba, ami ellentétes az EU irányelveivel.³¹ A Szerb Tudományos Akadémia hivatalos figyelmeztetéseket adott ki a „visszafordíthatatlan környezeti károk” miatt.³² - **Uniós visszafejlődés:** Az AFET-jelentés megismétli a környezetvédelmi szabványok védelmének fontosságát, megjegyezve, hogy az ezen a területen végrehajtott reformok jelentős visszafejlődést mutattak, ami közvetlenül érinti az olyan projekteket, mint az EXPO.³³ ### **Geopolitikai és pénzügyi következmények** - **Kínai stratégiai jelenlét:** A kínai jogi személyek jelentős részt tudhatnak magukénak a főbb infrastrukturális szerződésekből. Önmagában a PowerChina körülbelül 4 milliárd euró értékű projektet kezel 2012 óta.³⁴ - **Titoktartási záradékok:** A 2009-es keretmegállapodás lehetővé teszi a közvetlen szerződéskötést, és a hitel- valamint szerződéses feltételeket államtitokká nyilvánítja, ami gátolja a nyilvános elszámoltathatóságot.³⁵ Az ENSZ-jelentés kiemeli, hogy a Szerbiában kötött nemzetközi beruházási megállapodások gyakran erős védelmet nyújtanak a befektetőknek, miközben az emberi jogi garanciák gyengék vagy kikényszeríthetetlenek maradnak.³⁶ - **Költségvetési átláthatatlanság:** Az összevont infrastrukturális csomag értéke összesen 17,8 milliárd euró. A versenyalapú pályáztatás hiánya elhomályosítja a valós piaci költségeket.²⁴,³⁷ - **Nemzetközi bűnrészesség:** A jelenlegi rezsim a nemzetközi partnerek dokumentált belenyugvásával halad előre, amit a folyamatos közvetlen külföldi tőkebefektetések és az Európai Bizottság előcsatlakozási alapjainak kifizetése bizonyít, az ENSZ és az EU szerveinek a jogállamisági normák eróziójára vonatkoziva kifejezett figyelmeztetései ellenére.⁷,⁹ ### **Az ellenzéki hangok és a civil társadalom elnyomása** - **Zsugorodó civil tér:** Az ENSZ munkacsoportja aggasztó jelentéseket kapott a káros üzleti gyakorlatok ellen fellépő újságírók és aktivisták megfélemlítéséről, megfigyeléséről és az őket ért támadásokról.³⁸ - **A tüntetések elnyomása:** Az AFET-jelentés elítéli a diáktüntetéseket támogató „EU-állampolgárok jogellenes letartóztatását és kiutasítását”, és elutasítja a kormány külföldi beavatkozásra vonatkozó állításait.³⁹ Célzott szankciók kiszabását kéri az emberi jogi jogsértésekért felelős személyekkel szemben.⁴⁰ - **Jogi zaklatás:** A közéleti részvételt akadályozó stratégiai perek (SLAPP) alkalmazása növekedett, 2025-ben önmagában 14 esetet regisztráltak, ami jelentős terhet ró az aktivistákra.⁴¹ Az ENSZ-jelentés aggodalmát fejezte ki a tervezett „külföldi ügynöktörvény” miatt is, figyelmeztetve, hogy az bénító hatással lenne a civil társadalomra.⁴² ## **Összehasonlító elemzés: Nemzetközi szabványok** **Paraméter****EXPO 2027 (Szerbia)****Párizs 2024 / Oszaka 2025****Jogi alap**Állandó törvényi mentesség („Lex Specialis”)Ideiglenes, eseményspecifikus szabályozási kiigazítások**A mentességek köre**Kiterjed a nemzeti közlekedési hálózatokra isSzigorúan az esemény helyszíneire és logisztikájára korlátozódik**Felügyeleti mechanizmusok**Felfüggesztve; korlátozott bírósági felülvizsgálatErőteljes független auditálás és bírósági felügyelet**Engedélyezés**A befejezést követő legfeljebb 2 évig mellőzveTeljes megfelelés az építési és biztonsági előírásoknak**A civil társadalom szerepe**Korlátozott; megfélemlítésekről és SLAPP-perekről szóló jelentésekVédett; formális konzultációs mechanizmusok*\*Források: Hivatalos BIE-jelentésekből, a francia szenátusi vizsgálatokból, a japán minisztériumi iránymutatásokból, valamint az ENSZ/EU megállapításaiból származó összehasonlító elemzés.\*⁴³,⁴⁴* ## **Következtetés** Bár az EXPO 2027 lehetőséget nyújt Szerbia számára a fejlődési előrehaladás bemutatására, a jelenlegi megvalósítási keretrendszer jelentős kockázatot jelent a jogállamiságra, a környezeti fenntarthatóságra és a közbiztonságra nézve. A rögzített jogi eljárások szisztematikus megkerülése aláássa Szerbia Stabilitási és Társulási Megállapodásban vállalt kötelezettségeit, és veszélyeztetheti a jövőbeli EU-csatkazási tárgyalásokat. Kritikus fontosságú, hogy mind az ENSZ Emberi Jogi Tanácsának munkacsoportja, mind az Európai Parlament Külügyi Bizottsága a demokratikus visszafejlődés fókuszpontjaként azonosította az EXPO jogi keretét. Az ENSZ kifejezetten javasolta a „Lex Specialis” visszavonását vagy módosítását a felügyelet helyreállítása érdekében. Azonnali korrekciós intézkedésekre van szükség ahhoz, hogy a projektet összhangba hozzák a nemzetközi legjobb gyakorlatokkal, az etikai normákkal és az EU-csatlakozási kritériumokkal.

This complexity obscures transparency and enables **construction projects across Serbia** to be bundled under the EXPO umbrella, far beyond the actual exhibition site. Despite extensive research, it remains unclear **which projects are genuinely part of Belgrade EXPO 2027** and which are simply exploiting its legal framework. - [(In)visible Mechanisms of (Mis)use of Public Resources: The EXPO Belgrade 2027 Project](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Milovanovic-Rodic-et-al_Invisible-mechanisms-of-misuse-of-public-resources_EN-1.pdf) - [There is no going back, only forward – the only thing standing in the way is the public interest (EXPO 2027)](https://ministarstvoprostora.org/en/nema-nazad-samo-napred-na-tom-putu-jedino-stoji-javni-interes-expo-2027/) ## **Mechanisms of Expansion** Multiple overlapping and undefined terms are used interchangeably without clear distinctions. ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/05_beyond_the_expo_site-1-1024x576.jpg)These terms vary dramatically in scale, from the BIE-regulated 25 hectares for the three-month exhibition to 33 ha, 83 ha, 243 ha, 373 ha, or officials claiming “[all of Serbia is EXPO](https://www.vesti-online.com/cela-srbija-je-expo/)“. This makes it **impossible to determine the project’s actual scope, costs, or which infrastructure investments** are genuinely related to the exhibition versus exploiting its legal framework. **This ambiguity is not accidental.** As researchers point out in “[(In)visible Mechanisms of (Mis)use of Public Resources: The EXPO Belgrade 2027 Project](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Milovanovic-Rodic-et-al_Invisible-mechanisms-of-misuse-of-public-resources_EN-1.pdf)*”*: *“The terminological confusion surrounding the Belgrade EXPO 2027 project is neither insignificant nor coincidental, **it has directly affected the ability to understand the project’s scope, jurisdiction, and how it is planned and managed.**“* About some central terms: - **The project “Belgrade EXPO 2027”**, defined by Serbia’s 2023 Special Procedures Law, allows the government to designate any project nationwide as EXPO-related without prescribed criteria. Designated projects receive expedited procedures: reduced public consultation (15 vs. 45 days), procurement thresholds increased 8-12 times, and eliminated appeals. The law has no geographic limits, no end date, and no cap on project phases. This creates systemic discrimination in the construction industry and planning processes, with no defined limits on the law’s geographic scope or duration, as the number of project phases remains unspecified.

President Vučić announced it in January 2024, but **it officially does not exist**. When Transparency Serbia requested information, the government stated it is not a policy document, no state administration drafted it, and no employees or collaborators were involved in its creation. Despite its non-existence, this program has become the basis for redesigning national fiscal strategies and budgets. The government is implementing a program that cannot be read and whose creation process is unknown.

Though cited to justify the investments, construction on the ****aquarium, dolphinarium****, ****and**** ****theme park**** will not even begin until 2028, long after EXPO is over.

The Council warned that “unfavourable terms currently associated with government borrowing amplify the risks” of fiscal expansion. - State repurchasing previously privatised land at up to 100x the original sale price, a textbook public-to-private extraction. A total of [nine cadastral parcels of agricultural land in Surčin were transferred](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/867-2/) from the former PKB Corporation (Serbia’s largest agricultural conglomerate), the part remaining after privatisation, to the state, free of charge, for the purpose of building the National Stadium. In addition, another 633 parcels worth 1.9 billion dinars were “extracted” from this company, which has been called the Agro-Industrial Corporation since April 2021. The data is available in the new report of the State Audit Institution. ## **Predicted Costs** [Fiscal strategy of the strategic projects accepted for 2026](https://n1info.rs/documents/8/Investicije_iznad_20_miliona_evra_-_Fiskalna_strategija_za_2026_Nacrt.pdf) has been [recently changed](https://www.mfin.gov.rs/dokumenti2/revidirana-fiskalna-strategija-za-2026-godinu-sa-projekcijama-za-2027-i-2028-godinu).

Akbulut fordert [**“Demokratie stärken, nicht Autokraten aufwerten”**](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZVDK2VAq6a/?img_index=1). Auslöser ist die Antwort Berlins auf eine Kleine Anfrage ihrer Fraktion zu Korruption, Vergaberecht und Sicherheitsmängeln rund um die Weltausstellung in Belgrad: Auf fast die Hälfte der 32 gestellten Fragen erklärte die Regierung, über „keine eigenen Erkenntnisse” zu verfügen, obwohl deutsche Unternehmen direkt in die Weltausstellung eingebunden sind und die EU-Kommission das serbische Sondergesetz zur Auftragsvergabe formell beanstandet hat. Die spezialisierte Weltausstellung EXPO 2027 in Belgrad steht seit Monaten im Mittelpunkt schwerwiegender Vorwürfe: Korruption bei der Auftragsvergabe, Umgehung des Vergaberechts durch ein serbisches Sondergesetz (*lex specialis*), Sicherheitsmängel auf den Baustellen und irreversible Umweltschäden. Am 21. Mai 2026 veröffentlichte die Bundesregierung[ ihre Antwort auf die Kleine Anfrage ](https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/060/2106097.pdf)der Fraktion Die Linke (Drucksache 21/6097). Deutschland ist als Teilnehmerstaat beteiligt und hat eigene Unternehmen mit der Realisierung des deutschen Pavillons beauftragt. Die Bundesregierung bestätigt, dass sie die Kritik der EU-Kommission an den serbischen Vergabeverfahren teilt, und erklärt, die Ermittlungen zum Einsturz des Bahnhofsdachs in Novi Sad, bei dem am 1. November 2024 sechzehn Menschen ums Leben kamen, aufmerksam zu verfolgen. Für den deutschen Pavillon wurden Unternehmen vertraglich zu höherwertigen Sicherheitsstandards verpflichtet. Auf Fragen zu Aufträgen im Wert von über 330 Millionen Euro unter nahezu wettbewerbsfreien Bedingungen, zu personellen Überschneidungen zwischen dem Novi Sad Bahnhof und EXPO-Baustellen, zu Umweltwarnungen der Serbischen Akademie der Wissenschaften sowie zur verbreiteten Schwarzarbeit auf den Baustellen verweigert die Bundesregierung jedoch jede substantielle Auskunft. Die Antwort lautet durchgehend: „keine eigenen Erkenntnisse.” Akbulut bezeichnet das als [„politische Entscheidung, uninformiert zu bleiben”](https://www.masina.rs/nemacka-poslanica-pitanja-o-korupciji-u-vezi-sa-projektom-expo-treba-da-budu-postavljena-u-svim-drzavama/) und stellt die Fragen, die Berlin offen lässt: Ab welchem Punkt wird die deutsche Beteiligung unhaltbar? Was geschieht, wenn die selbstgesetzten Bedingungen nicht erfüllt werden? Strengere Standards für den deutschen Pavillon allein seien ein reputationsschützendes Instrument, kein Ausdruck politischer Verantwortung. Sie fordert zudem, dass entsprechende parlamentarische Anfragen in allen Teilnehmerstaaten der EXPO 2027 gestellt werden müssten. Die zivilgesellschaftliche Kampagne [EXPO2027exposed](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/), Teil einer breiteren [zivilgesellschaftlichen Bewegung](https://radar.nova.rs/drustvo/ekspo-sajt-serbiaexpo2027exposed-com/) zu diesem Thema, [schließt sich dieser Forderung an](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/no-information-of-our-own/). Ein Teilnehmerstaat, der eigene Unternehmen mit der Ausstellungsrealisierung beauftragt und öffentlich Integritätskriterien an seine Außenwirtschaftsinstrumente knüpft, trägt politische Mitverantwortung. Das systematische Bekenntnis zu eigener Unkenntnis ist unter diesen Umständen keine sachliche Beschränkung. Die Kampagne ruft Bürgerinnen und Bürger sowie Mitglieder des Bundestages auf, die Bundesregierung zur Konkretisierung ihrer Position aufzufordern.

Relying on evidence from EU institutional sources, diverse academic perspectives, and media reports, the initiative urges citizens everywhere to inform themselves and pressure their governments, among them Germany, France, and USA, to divest funding and withdraw involvement. The political context for this action is the ongoing civil society and student protests triggered by the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse – movements that resist high-level corruption and the systematic erosion of institutional transparency. The initiative’s full evidence dossier is publicly available at serbiaexpo2027exposed.com. ### The Pattern Behind the Project Belgrade EXPO 2027 is being developed under the same institutional conditions that led to the Novi Sad canopy collapse on November 1, 2024 – a tragedy that claimed 16 lives, which independent experts have attributed to systemic negligence. Emergency procurement rules that bypass standard oversight, non-transparent contracting, and backroom agreements are not incidental features of the EXPO project; they are a documented pattern, now applied to a project many times the scale of the Novi Sad infrastructure. The Expo2027exposed dossier documents risks across five interlinked facets: political corruption, legal irregularities, ecological damage to critical water supply zones, flawed urban planning, and construction safety failures that endanger both workers and future visitors. ### EU Institutions Have Already Raised the Alarm The initiative’s findings align with formal warnings issued at the highest levels of European governance. In its resolution of October 22, 2025, the European Parliament urged participating countries to consider the documented evidence of widespread corruption and the reported failure to meet basic construction standards. Furthermore, the European Commission’s Serbia 2025 Report highlighted critical concerns regarding the rule of law and public procurement practices. These institutional findings are verified and made publicly accessible in the Expo2027exposed digital library. ### The True Cost of Participation Building a national pavilion at Belgrade EXPO 2027 is not a neutral cultural gesture. Participating governments provide the three things this project requires to survive: funding, legitimacy, and political cover. The Expo2027exposed network calls on citizens worldwide to ask their governments one direct question: Should our taxpayers be part of this? ### About Expo2027exposed Expo2027exposed is an interdisciplinary network of researchers, advocates, and members of the Serbian diaspora operating across Europe and the Americas. The network was established to monitor the systemic risks associated with Belgrade’s Specialized EXPO 2027, focusing on public safety, financial transparency, and environmental impact. Members operate in solidarity with citizens, journalists, and civil society in Serbia who face detention, intimidation, and silencing for speaking out. Due to well-documented risks of retaliation and the erosion of the rule of law, the network operates anonymously to ensure the safety of its contributors and their families. Expo2027exposed is bound by a shared commitment to factual accountability and the restoration of democratic transparency. **Platform:** [serbiaexpo2027exposed.com](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com "serbiaexpo2027exposed.com") **Press & civil society inquiries:** [Contact us](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") **Evidence library:** [Library](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/library/ "Library and Resources") **Social Media:** [https://www.instagram.com/expo\_sed\_belgrade\_2027/](https://www.instagram.com/expo_sed_belgrade_2027/) ### DE+ 28\.

BELGRAD, SERBIEN – 28. April 2026 – Ein dezentrales Netzwerk aus Wissenschaftler\*innen, Aktivist\*innen und Mitgliedern der serbischen Diaspora in ganz Europa und Amerika hat „Expo2027exposed“ ins Leben gerufen, eine internationale Bürger\*inneninitiative, die Regierungen, Medien und die Zivilgesellschaft weltweit dazu aufruft, die Teilnahme ihrer Länder an der EXPO 2027 in Belgrad kritisch zu hinterfragen. Gestützt auf Belegen aus institutionellen Quellen der EU, vielfältigen akademischen Perspektiven und Medienberichten fordert die Initiative Bürger\*innen dazu auf, sich zu informieren und Druck auf ihre Regierungen, unter anderem Deutschland, Frankreich, und USA, auszuüben, damit diese ihre Finanzmittel zurückziehen und ihre Beteiligung beenden. Der politische Kontext dieser Aktion sind die anhaltenden Proteste der Zivilgesellschaft und der Studierenden, die durch den Einsturz des Bahnhofsvordachs von Novi Sad ausgelöst wurden. Bewegungen, die sich gegen Korruption auf höchster Ebene und die systematische Aushöhlung der institutionellen Transparenz wehren. Das vollständige Beweismaterial der Initiative ist unter [serbiaexpo2027exposed.com](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/) öffentlich zugänglich. ### Das Muster hinter der EXPO 2027 in Belgrad Die Belgrader EXPO 2027 wird unter denselben institutionellen Bedingungen geplant und gebaut, die am 1. November 2024 zum Einsturz des Bahnhofsvordachs in Novi Sad führten. Einer Tragödie, die 16 Menschenleben forderte und von unabhängigen Expert\*innen auf systemische Fahrlässigkeit zurückgeführt wurde. Beschleunigte Beschaffungsregeln, die die übliche Aufsicht umgehen, intransparente Auftragsvergabe und Hinterzimmerabsprachen sind keine zufälligen Merkmale des EXPO-Projekts; sie sind ein dokumentiertes Muster, das nun auf ein Projekt angewendet wird, dessen Umfang das der Infrastruktur von Novi Sad um ein Vielfaches übersteigt. Das Dossier von Expo2027exposed dokumentiert Risiken in fünf miteinander verknüpften Bereichen: politische Korruption, rechtliche Unregelmäßigkeiten, ökologische Schäden an kritischen Wasserversorgungsgebieten, undemokratische Stadtplanung und Mängel bei der Bausicherheit, die sowohl Arbeiter\*innen als auch zukünftige Besucher\*innen gefährden. ### EU-Institutionen haben bereits Alarm geschlagen Die Ergebnisse der Initiative decken sich mit offiziellen Warnungen, die auf höchster Ebene der europäischen Politik ausgesprochen wurden. In seiner Entschließung vom 22. Oktober 2025 forderte das Europäische Parlament die teilnehmenden Länder nachdrücklich auf, die dokumentierten Beweise für weit verbreitete Korruption und die gemeldeten Verstöße gegen grundlegende Baunormen zu berücksichtigen. Darüber hinaus wurden im „Serbien-Bericht 2025“ der Europäischen Kommission kritische Bedenken hinsichtlich der Rechtsstaatlichkeit und der Praktiken im öffentlichen Beschaffungswesen hervorgehoben. Diese institutionellen Erkenntnisse sind verifiziert und in der digitalen Bibliothek „Expo2027exposed“ öffentlich zugänglich. ### Die gesellschaftlichen Kosten der Teilnahme Der Bau eines nationalen Pavillons auf der Belgrader EXPO 2027 ist keine neutrale Geste. Die teilnehmenden Regierungen stellen die drei Dinge bereit, die dieses Projekt zum Überleben benötigt: Finanzierung, Legitimität und politischen Rückhalt. Das Netzwerk Expo2027exposed ruft Bürger\*innen weltweit dazu auf, ihren Regierungen eine direkte Frage zu stellen: Sollten unsere Steuerzahler daran beteiligt sein? ### Über Expo2027exposed Expo2027exposed ist ein interdisziplinäres Netzwerk aus Wissenschaftler\*innen, Aktivist\*innen und Mitgliedern der serbischen Diaspora, das europaweit und in Nord- und Südamerika tätig ist. Das Netzwerk wurde gegründet, um die systemischen Risiken im Zusammenhang mit der EXPO 2027 zu beobachten, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf öffentliche Sicherheit, finanzielle Transparenz und Umweltauswirkungen liegt.

S’appuyant sur des éléments de preuve provenant de sources institutionnelles de l’Union européenne, de diverses perspectives académiques et de rapports médiatiques, l’initiative exhorte les citoyens partout dans le monde à s’informer et à faire pression sur leurs gouvernements afin qu’ils retirent leur financement et se désengagent du projet. Le contexte politique de cette action est marqué par les protestations en cours de la société civile et des étudiants, déclenchées par l’effondrement de l’auvent de la gare de Novi Sad — le mouvements qui s’oppose à la corruption à haut niveau et à l’érosion systématique de la transparence institutionnelle. Le dossier complet des preuves de l’initiative est accessible publiquement sur site internet (www.serbiaexpo2027exposed.com). ### Le schéma derrière le projet L’EXPO 2027 de Belgrade est développé dans les mêmes conditions institutionnelles qui ont conduit à l’effondrement de l’auvent de Novi Sad le 1er novembre 2024 – une tragédie qui a fait 16 morts et que des experts indépendants attribuent à des négligences systémiques. Non-respect des procédures de marchés publics, réalisées dans la précipitation, contournement des mécanismes de contrôle de standard, les contrats non transparents et les accords conclus derrière les coulisses ne sont pas des exceptions du projet EXPO; ils constituent un schéma documenté, appliqué sur le projet plusieurs fois plus grand que le projet de rénovation de la gare de Novi Sad. Le dossier Expo2027exposed documente des risques à travers cinq sujets interconnectés : corruption politique, irrégularités juridiques, destructions écologiques dans des zones importantes en approvisionnement de l’eau, planification urbaine défaillante et détérioration de la sécurité concernant les phases de chantier et d’exploitation qui mettent en danger à la fois des ouvriers et les futurs visiteurs. ### Les institutions de l’UE ont déjà tiré la sonnette d’alarme Les constatations de l’initiative confirment les avertissements officiels émis aux plus hauts niveaux de la gouvernance européenne. Dans sa résolution du 22 octobre 2025, le Parlement européen a appelé les pays participants à prendre en considération les preuves documentées d’une corruption généralisée ainsi que les irrégularités signalées dans le respect des normes de construction. Par ailleurs, le rapport 2025 de la Commission européenne sur la Serbie a mis en évidence de sérieuses préoccupations concernant l’état de droit et les procédures en matière de marchés publics. Ces conclusions institutionnelles sont vérifiées et rendues accessibles au public dans les archives documentaires du site internet deExpo2027exposed ### Le véritable coût de la participation Construire un pavillon national à l’EXPO 2027 de Belgrade n’est pas un geste culturel neutre. Les gouvernements participants apportent les trois éléments essentiels à la survie de ce projet: le financement, la légitimité et une crédibilité politique. Cette initiative fait appel aux citoyens du monde entier à poser à leurs gouvernements une question directe: Faut-il que l’argent public de nos contribuables soit utilisé pour cela? L’initiative Expo2027exposed déclare: « L’Expo 2027 de Belgrade est construite dans les mêmes conditions qui ont causé la tragédie de Novi Sad : les règles adoptées dans l’urgence suspendant des mécanismes de contrôle de standard, les accords conclus derrière les coulisses et une absence totale de responsabilité. Un pavillon n’est pas un geste culturel neutre. Les gouvernements qui participent apportent une légitimité à ce projet qui ne respecte pas des normes conformes aux standards. Nous voulons nous assurer que la décision est prise en pleine connaissance des faits. » ### À propos d’Expo2027exposed Expo2027exposed est un collectif réunissant un réseau interdisciplinaire de chercheurs et de membres de la diaspora serbe active à travers l’Europe et les Amériques. Cette initiative a été créée afin de mettre en avant les risques systémiques liés à l’EXPO spécialisé de Belgrade 2027, en se concentrant sur la sécurité publique, la transparence financière et l’impact environnemental. Ses membres agissent en solidarité avec les citoyens, les journalistes et la société civile en Serbie, qui font face à des arrestations, des intimidations et la répression pour avoir pris la parole. En raison de risques de représailles bien documentés et de l’érosion de l’État de droit, ce collectif fonctionne de manière anonyme afin de garantir la sécurité de ses contributeurs et de leurs familles. Expo2027exposed est uni par un engagement commun en faveur de la responsabilité fondée sur les faits et du rétablissement de la transparence démocratique. **Site internet:** [serbiaexpo2027exposed.com](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com) **Contact pour le media & la société civile:** [Contact us](http://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/contact-us/ "serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/contact-us/ ") **Archive de documentation:** [Library](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/library/ "Library and Resources") **Réseaux sociaux:** [https://www.instagram.com/expo\_sed\_belgrade\_2027](https://www.instagram.com/expo_sed_belgrade_2027) ### HU+ 2026\. április 28. Kapcsolat: [Expo2027exposed](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/contact-us/ "Contact Us") Network ### Nemzetközi civil kezdeményezés felszólítja a világ kormányait a 2027-es Belgrádi Expo-n való részvételük újraértékelésére Az Európát és az amerikai kontinenst átívelő diaszpóra-hálózat tényalapú kezdeményezést indít, amely feltárja a 2027-es eseményt körülvevő rendszerszintű korrupciót, biztonsági mulasztásokat és intézményi eróziót. BELGRÁD, SZERBIA – 2026. április 28. – Kutatók, jogvédők és az Európában, valamint az amerikai kontinensen élő szerb diaszpóra tagjainak decentralizált hálózata elindította az Expo2027exposed elnevezésű nemzetközi civil akciót. A kezdeményezés arra szólítja fel a világ kormányait, a médiát és a civil társadalmat, hogy vizsgálják felül országaik részvételét a belgrádi Specializált EXPO 2027-en. Az uniós intézményi forrásokra, különböző tudományos perspektívákra és médiabeszámolókra támaszkodó kezdeményezés arra sürgeti a polgárokat mindenhol, hogy tájékozódjanak, és gyakoroljanak nyomást kormányaikra a finanszírozás megvonása és a részvétel visszamondása érdekében. Az akció politikai hátterét a civil társadalom és a hallgatók folyamatos tüntetései adják, melyeket az újvidéki vasútállomás tetőszerkezetének összeomlása váltott ki – e mozgalmak a magas szintű korrupció és az intézményi átláthatóság szisztematikus felszámolása ellen tiltakoznak. A kezdeményezés teljes bizonyítékgyűjteménye nyilvánosan elérhető a serbiaexpo2027exposed.com oldalon. ### A projekt mögötti mintázat A belgrádi EXPO 2027 ugyanazon intézményi körülmények között épül, mint amelyek a 2024. november 1-jei újvidéki tetőbeomláshoz vezettek – egy 16 életet követelő tragédiához, amelyet független szakértők a rendszerszintű hanyagságnak tulajdonítottak. A standard felügyeletet megkerülő sürgősségi beszerzési szabályok, az átláthatatlan szerződéskötések és a háttéralkuk nem véletlen velejárói az EXPO projektnek; ezek dokumentált mintázatot alkotnak, amelyet most az újvidéki infrastruktúra méretének többszörösét kitevő projektre alkalmaznak. Az Expo2027exposed dosszié öt egymással összefüggő területen dokumentál kockázatokat: politikai korrupció, jogi szabálytalanságok, a kritikus vízbázisok ökológiai károsítása, hibás várostervezés, valamint olyan kivitelezési biztonsági hibák, amelyek mind a munkásokat, mind a jövőbeli látogatókat veszélyeztetik. ### Az EU intézményei már megkongatták a vészharangot A kezdeményezés megállapításai összhangban vannak az európai kormányzás legmagasabb szintjein kiadott hivatalos figyelmeztetésekkel. Az Európai Parlament 2025. október 22-i állásfoglalásában sürgette a részt vevő országokat, hogy mérlegeljék a széles körű korrupcióra vonatkozó dokumentált bizonyítékokat és az alapvető építési szabványok be nem tartásáról szóló jelentéseket. Ezen túlmenően az Európai Bizottság Szerbiáról szóló 2025-ös jelentése kritikus aggályokat fogalmazott meg a jogállamisággal és a közbeszerzési gyakorlatokkal kapcsolatban. Ezeket az intézményi megállapításokat az Expo2027exposed digitális könyvtára hitelesíti és teszi nyilvánosan hozzáférhetővé. ### A részvétel valódi ára Nemzeti pavilont építeni a belgrádi EXPO 2027-en nem semleges kulturális gesztus. A részt vevő kormányok azt a három dolgot biztosítják, amelyre ennek a projektnek a túléléshez szüksége van: finanszírozást, legitimitást és politikai fedezéket. Az Expo2027exposed hálózat arra szólítja fel a polgárokat világszerte, hogy tegyenek fel egy közvetlen kérdést kormányaiknak: Valóban részesei kell, hogy legyenek ennek az adófizetőink? ### Az Expo2027exposed-ről Az Expo2027exposed kutatók, jogvédők és az Európában, valamint az amerikai kontinensen élő szerb diaszpóra tagjainak interdiszciplináris hálózata. A hálózatot azért hozták létre, hogy figyelemmel kísérje a belgrádi Specializált EXPO 2027-hez kapcsolódó rendszerszintű kockázatokat, különös tekintettel a közbiztonságra, a pénzügyi átláthatóságra és a környezeti hatásokra. A tagok szolidaritást vállalnak azokkal a szerbiai polgárokkal, újságírókkal és a civil társadalom képviselőivel, akik őrizetbe vétellel, megfélemlítéssel és elhallgattatással néznek szembe véleményük kinyilvánítása miatt. A megtorlás dokumentált kockázata és a jogállamiság eróziója miatt a hálózat név nélkül működik, hogy szavatolja a közreműködők és családjaik biztonságát. Az Expo2027exposed-et a tényeken alapuló elszámoltathatóság és a demokratikus átláthatóság helyreállítása iránti közös elkötelezettség köti össze.

Pobuda ki temelji Pobuda ki meteji na dokazih iz institucionalnih virov Evropske unije, različnih mnenj strokovnjakov in medijskih poročil, poziva državljane po vsem svetu, naj se informirajo in pozovejo svoje vlade, da umaknejo financiranje ter se distancirajo od projekta. Politično ozadje te akcije zaznamujejo trajajoči protesti civilne družbe in študentov, ki jih je sprožil zrušitev nadstreška na železniški postaji v Novem Sadu – gibanje ki nasprotuje korupvciji na visoki ravni ter sistematičnemu spodkopavanju ki jih je sprožil zrušitev nadstreška na železniški postaji v Novem Sadu — gibanje, ki nasprotuje korupciji ki na visoki ravni ter sistematičnemu spodkopavanju institucionalne transparentnosti. Celoten dosje z dokazi pobude je javno dostopen na [spletni strani](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com). **Vzorec delovanja v ozadju projekta** EXPO 2027 v Beogradu se razvija v enakih institucionalnih okoliščinah, ki so privedle do zrušitve nadstreška v Novem Sadu 1. novembra 2024 — tragedije, v kateri je umrlo 16 ljudi in ki jo neodvisni strokovnjaki pripisujejo sistemskim pomankljivostim. Kršitev postopkov javnega naročanja, izvajanje del v naglici, izogibanje postopkom nadzora standardov, netransparentne pogodbe ter dogovori sklenjeni v zakulisju, niso samo izjeme pri projektu EXPO; predstavljajo dokumentiran vzorec ravnanja, uporabljen pri projektu, ki je bovstveno večji kot projektpenove železniške postaje v Novem Sadu. Dosje Expo2027exposed dokumentira tveganja na petih medsebojno povezanih področjih: politična korupcija, pravne nepravilnosti, ekološko uničevanje območij, pomembnih za oskrbo z vodo, pomanjkljivo urbanistično načrtovanje ter poslabšanje varnosti v fazah gradnje in uporabe, ki ogroža tako delavce kot prihodnje obiskovalce. **Institucije EU so že sprožile alarm** Ugotovitve pobude potrjujejo uradna opozorila, izdana na najvišjih ravneh evropskega upravljanja. Evropski parlament je v svoji resolucije z den 22. oktobra 2025 države udeleženke pozval, naj upoštevaju dokumentirene dokaze o razširjeni korupciji ter prijavljenih nepravilnosti pro spoštovanju gradbenih standardov. Poleg tega je poročilo Evropske komisije o Srbiji za leto 2025 izpostavilo resne pomisleke glede praven države in postopkov javnega naročanja. Te institucionalne ugotovitve so preverjene in javno dostopne v dokumentarnem arhivu spletne strani Expo2027exposed. **Resnična cena sodelovanja** Gradnja nacionalnega paviljona na EXPO 2027 v Beogradu ni politično nevtralna kulturna pobuda. Sodelujoče vlade prispevajo tri ključne elemente za obstoj tega projekta: financiranje, legitimnost in politično verodojstojnost. Ta pobuda poziva državljane po vsem svetu, naj svojim vladam zastavijo neposredno vprašanje: Ali naj se javni denar davkoplačevalcev uporablja za to? Pobuda Expo2027exposed navaja: »EXPO 2027 v Beogradu se gradi v enakih razmerah, ki o povzročile tragedijo v Novem Sadu: na hitro sprejeta pravila, ki suspendirajo mehanizme nadzora standardov, dogovori skenjeni v zakulisju, ter popolna odsotnost odgovornosti. Paviljon ni politično nevtralna kulturna pobuda. Vlade, ki sodelujejo, prispevajo k legitimnosti projketa, čeprav ne spoštuje standardov in predpisanih norm. Želimo zagotoviti, da se odločitev sprejme ob polnem poznavanju dejstev. **O pobudi Expo2027exposed** Expo2027exposed je kolektiv, ki združuje interdisciplinarno mrežo raziskovalcev in članov srbske diaspore, dejavnih po Evropi in Ameriki.

The event is scheduled to take place **in Belgrade from 15 May to 15 August 2027, under the key theme “Play for Humanity – Sports and Music for All.”** To compete for this opportunity, Serbia, like other candidate countries, submitted a Recognition Dossier, detailing the exhibition program and financing methods. However, **this dossier has not been made available to the Serbian public, despite massive public funding being involved.** Serbian authorities have classified it as a **business secret**, asserting that its publication could impact operational success. The project’s goals claim to lead to economic growth across Serbia, but there is no publicly available feasibility study or cost-benefit analysis. Similar exhibitions globally have proven economically unviable. The exhibition area is fully constructed by the organiser, while participants are allocated space in pavilions that they can customise based on their interpretation of the exhibition’s focused theme**.** According to BIE regulations, a specialized international exhibition is limited to a maximum of three months and a space of up to 25 hectares. [However, the total planned area of the EXPO project currently covers 813.65 hectares.](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/ecological-perspective/) Primarily, the Belgrade EXPO 2027 project - has become a basis for land expropriation (including privately owned land) - has led to environmental degradation - has allowed for the derogation of the Planning and Construction Law - has allowed the misuse of massive public funds through non-transparent procedures and insufficient justification of national significance and public interest. ![](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Foundation_Expo-101-1024x576.png)The map shows the location and planned size of the Belgrade EXPO 2027 that matches the size of the wider city centre.

The International Specialized Exhibition Belgrade EXPO 2027 is promoted as a catalyst for development in Serbia. However, an **analysis of public resource usage reveals systemic deviations from the principles of legality, transparency, and public interest** behind the notion of a “*national development opportunity.*“ The project is not clearly defined regarding its content, scope, or legal framework, allowing for uncontrolled expansion and non-transparent use of public funds. There is a **trend of centralized decision-making and overriding existing laws with ad-hoc solutions applied selectively**, which undermines democratic control and public participation. This creates a concerning framework for questionable interventions, particularly impacting the Surčinsko polje water source and the Sava level**.** - [Invisible mechanisms of misuse of public resources](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Milovanovic-Rodic-et-al_Invisible-mechanisms-of-misuse-of-public-resources_EN-1.pdf) --- ### [About Us](https://serbiaexpo2027exposed.com/about-us/) **Published:** March 25, 2026 **Author:** serbiaexpo2027exposedcom **Content:** ## Who We Are --- We are a decentralised network of researchers, activists, and citizens. Our identities remain anonymous out of a justified fear of retaliation, knowing all too well the lengths to which the regime behind this project will go to target and silence those who do not look away. We are bound by a shared belief in democratic transparency and an unwavering commitment to the facts. In an environment where systemic corruption is shielded by intimidation and silence, we serve as a necessary, global counterweight. ## Why We Do This In Serbia today, people are being detained without cause: taken off the streets, held in prison for days, or confined to their homes for daring to speak out. Workers are punished for their opinions: fired, suspended, or quietly pushed out through intimidation and pressure, especially in state institutions and major companies. This is not coincidence — it is a system designed to silence. Journalists are threatened with violence and death. Students are beaten, surveilled, and targeted. Professors and teachers are intimidated into obedience.
