As eKapija finds out at the Savski Venac borough, the next step is a feasibility study which will show which of the selected solutions can be implemented.

- We will soon release a tender for feasibility study development and it should be completed in six months. After that, we will present a detailed concept to investors. We should soon present the Eco house model in three cities in Serbia because the idea is that other municipalities implement similar projects as well - Nina Mitranic, Project Manager at the Savski venac municipality says. .

She mentions that “do it yourself” concept brought one of the solutions which received most of the awards.

- Authors called it "New Bee". Actually, some 40 people should join in order to invest and construct this kind of a settlement. According to their estimation, the square meter price should total EUR 330. The suggestion is feasible when it comes to other parts of Belgrade as well or for interior of our country since construction land in Savski venac municipality is very expensive.
