**Activists Block Construction Work**

A group of activists blocked the entrance to a construction site in Belgrade, Serbia. They are trying to prevent the demolition of a historic bridge and the destruction of a WW2 death camp.

The activists stopped work at the Staro Sajmiste (Lager Semlin) death camp. A memorial center was supposed to be built there. The activists don’t want the Old Savski Bridge, which connects the new and old parts of Belgrade, to be demolished.

They are asking for access to a secret contract with the company doing the construction work. The activists say that demolishing the bridge and destroying the death camp is corrupt.

The activists want people to join them in their fight against what they see as corruption.

**Background**

The Old Savski Bridge lies next door to a big project called Belgrade Waterfront. This project was started by the Serbian authorities.
