Belgrade has some 100 sewage pipes dumping wastewater into the Sava and the Danube, Belgrade Deputy Mayor Goran Vesic told the pro-regime TV Pink.

The city is planning to build in the next five years wastewater processing plants at several locations with the help of the Serbian Government and international loans.
German chemist Andreas Fath last week decided to stop his swim down the Danube in Belgrade because the river was too polluted.
As many as 80 wastewater discharges into the Danube will be eliminated once a wastewater processing plant is built in the village of Veliko Selo, said Vesic.

Negotiations with the European Union on the construction of one such plant in the Batajnica suburb are under way, he said, adding that they are also to be built in Belgrade’s Mladenovac and Grocka municipalities.
