4 | A group of journalists were stopped and harassed by police in Serbia on Friday, September 25 while they attempted to film a report on a controversial waterfront construction project that will house multiple luxury hotels and condominiums along Belgrade's Sava River. | Nosakànana sy nosotasotain'ny polisy ireo vondronà mpanao gazety tany Serbia ny Zoma 25 Septambra teo, raha saika haka lahatsary hatao tatitra amin'ilay tetikasa fanorenana Waterfront, mahatonga resabe, izay hampiantrano hotely raitra ho an'ireo mpanankarena ary trano tsara tarehy manatrika ny Renirano Sava ao Belgrade. |
5 | A videographer in the group discreetly captured on film the tense moment when Belgrade municipal police ordered them to leave the site. | Nisy mpaka lahatsary tao amin'ilay vondrona naka antsokosoko lahatsary ilay fotoana nifanenjanana, fony nandidy azy ireo hiala ny toerana ny polisy kaominalin'i Belgrade. |
6 | The journalists, who work for Serbian political analysis and news site Istinomer (“Truth-meter”), later received citations for “interfering with duties of [police] officials by entering the construction site.” | Avy eo ireo mpanao gazety, izay miasa ho an'ny Istinomer (“Truth-meter” - Fandrefesana ny marina), tranonkalam-baovao Serba manao fanadihadiana ara-politika, dia nahazo fiampangàna ho “manelingelina ny asan'ireo [polisy] tomponandraikitra tamin'ny fidirana teo amin'ny faritr'ilay fanorenana.” |
7 | The video shows two police officers approaching the journalists. | Mampiseho polisy roa nanatona ireo mpanao gazety ilay lahatsary. |
8 | One of the journalists shows their press identification, along with their personal identification, explaining that they are preparing to film an interview on the site. | Nampiseho ny famantarana ny maha-mpanao gazety azy ny iray tamin'ireo mpanao gazety, niaraka tamin'ny taratasy famantarana azy ireo manokana, nanazava fa miomana handrakitra lahatsarinà tafatafa atao eo amin'ilay toerana izy ireo. |
9 | The officers tell them that they are on a private construction site and must leave. | Nilaza ireo polisy fa eo amin'ny toerana fanorenana an'olon-tsotra izy ireo ary tokony hiala. |
10 | The journalists point out that there are no signs indicating private property or a construction site. | Nanipika ireo mpanao gazety fa tsy misy marika milaza ny maha-tanin'olon-tsotra ilay toerana fanorenana mihitsy eo. |
11 | The officers agree that they cannot see one either. | Niaiky ireo polisy fa tsy afaka mahita na iray aza izy ireo. |
12 | Minutes later, they are joined by three more municipal officers, who again ask the journalists to leave. | Minitra vitsy taty aoriana, natonin'ireo tomponandraikitry ny kaominina telo hafa indray izy ireo, izay niteny azy ireo hiala ihany koa. |
13 | One of the journalists says they are willing to leave if they are given a reason to leave the site. | Ny iray amin'ireo mpanao gazety nilaza fa vonona ny hiala izy ireo raha toa ka omena antony tokony hialàny eo amin'ilay toerana. |
14 | One of the officers then asks the cameraman filming to put away his gear, saying that the “site is unstable” and he has a “feeling the gear will be damaged.” | Nangataka ilay mpaka lahatsary hampirina ny fitaovany ny iray amin'ireo tomponandraikitra, nilaza fa “tsy marina tsara ilay toerana” ary “mahatsapa izy fa ho simba ilay fitaovana.” |
15 | When the cameraman says that the gear is fine where it is, the police officer repeats, “I have a feeling something is going to happen to it. | Rehefa nilaza ilay mpaka lahatsary fa mety tsara eo amin'ny misy azy ilay fitaovana, namerina indray ilay polisy, “tsapako fa hisy zavatra hanjo an'iny. |
16 | Trust me.” | Matokia ahy.” |
17 | Upon hearing this, journalist Vesna Radojević tells the officer to “leave our gear alone” and says she will call the regular state police. | Raha vao nahare izany ilay mpanao gazety, Vesna Radojevic, niteny ilay polisy izy ny “hamela ilay fitaovany irery” ary hiantso ny polisim-panjakana. |
18 | The municipal police officers then ask for everyone's identification and begin writing citations. | Nitaky ny taratasy mombamomba ny tsirairay ireo polisy kaominaly ary nanomboka nanoratra fiampangàna. |
19 | At one point, the photographer in the group takes out his camera, puts a lens on it, and is then dragged away by police after refusing to put the camera away. | Nisy fotoana, naka ny fitaovany fakàna lahatsary ilay mpaka sary iray tao amin'ny vondrona, nametraka ny lohan'ny fitaovana tamin'io, ary noentin'ny polisy an-keriny izy taorian'ny nandavany ny hametraka ny fitaovana fangalàny lahatsary. |
20 | Istinomer posted an uncut version of the video to YouTube and Facebook. | Nandefa ilay lahatsary tsy nasiana fanapahana tao amin'ny YouTube sy Facebook ny Istinomer. |
21 | This is not the first time independent journalists have run into trouble reporting on the Belgrade Waterfront project since it was first announced in 2014. | Tsy voalohany izao no tratry ny olana tamin'ny fitaterana vaovao momba ilay tetikasa fanorenana Belgrade Waterfront ny mpanao gazety tsy miankina, nanomboka tamin'ny nanambaràna azy io ny taona 2014. |
22 | The project, a joint undertaking worth 3.5 billion Euros between the Serbian government and Emirati investors, is a luxury construction project that aims to improve Belgrade's cityscape and economy by revitalizing a run-down stretch of land on the right bank of the Sava river. | Tetikasa fanorenana lafo vidy ilay tetikasa, fiaraha-miasan'ny governemanta Serba sy ireo mpampiasa vola avy any Emirats, mitentina 3,5 lavitrisa Euros, izay manana tanjona ny hanatsara ny endriky ny tanàn-dehibe an'i Belgrade sy ny toekareny, amin'ny fanomezana aina ny ampahan'ny tanàna tsizarizary amin'ilay morony havànan'ny renirano Sava. |
23 | It includes high-end business and retail space, luxury apartments, eight hotels, a shopping mall and a 220-meter monumental tower. | Ahitàna toerana fivarotana zavatra lafo vidy io ary toerana fivarotana antsinjarany, trano fonenana lafo vidy, hotely valo, toerana malalaka fiantsenana ary tilikambo lehibe tokoa mirefy 220 metatra. |
24 | In a country with an average net salary of less than 500 dollars per month and in a city that is by no means among the most popular for luxury travelers or expats, many have wondered who will be purchasing the high-end real estate when it goes on sale in October 2015. | Ao aminà firenena izay latsaky ny 500 dolara isam-bolana ny karaman'ny olona, ary ao aminà tanàna izay tsy malaza mihitsy amin'ny fahatongavan'ny olona manankarena na vahiny hanorim-ponenana, maro ireo manontany tena hoe iza marina ary no hividy ilay fonenana lafo vidy rehefa ho amidy izy io ny volana Oktobra 2015. |
25 | Various local and international architects have drawn attention to the dangers and “impossible conditions” of building such a large-scale project on the riverbank. | Nitondra ny fijery tamin'ireo loza ary “antony tsy mahamety” ny hanorenana tetikasa lehibe sahala amin'izany manamorona ny renirano ireo mpanao maritrano maro teo an-toerana sy tany ivelany. |
26 | In March 2015, the Academy of Architecture of Serbia called for putting an “urgent stop” to the Belgrade Waterfront project, indicating several points where the project could present both structural and logistical dangers to the city, the river, and those residing in the buildings. | Ny volana Martsa 2015, niantso ny hametrahana “fanajanonana haingana” ny tetikasa Belgrade Waterfront ny Akademian'ny Mpanao Maritranon'i Serbia, tamin'ny filazàna ireo teboka maro mety hampidi-doza ny tanàna, ny renirano, ary ireo mipetraka ao amin'ireo tranobe, araka ny rafitrany sy araka ny fitaovana ampiasaina aminy. |
27 | Aside from the controversy around structure and safety, several independent journalists, experts, and organizations have been bothered by the lack of fiscal transparency related to the massive government-operated construction project. | Eo anilan'ireo resabe manodidina ilay rafitra sy ny fiarovana, samy sahirana amin'ilay tsy fahampian'ny mangarahara momba ny tetibola mifandray amin'ilay tetikasa fanorenana goavana tantanin'ny fanjakana ireo mpanao gazety tsy miankina, manampahaizana, ary fikambanana maro. |
28 | Transparentnost Srbija, the official Serbian branch of Transparency International, wrote a document listing “Concerns and questions regarding Belgrade Waterfront” in March 2015: | Ny volana Martsa 2015 , nanoratra antonta-taratasy nilaza “Ireo olana sy fanontaniana mikasika ny Belgrade Waterfront” Transparentnost Srbija, ilay sampana ofisialy Serba ho an'ny Transparency International - Fangaraharana Iraisam-pirenena: |
29 | Since analysis of profitability of this business model weren't made, nor were they subjected to verification of the Commission for Public Private Partnership, it is important to inform the public when the contract will be signed, whether there are controversial questions in negotiations and what are the risks and expenses that state will take over in this case. | Hatramin'ny tsy nanaovana fanadihadiana ny fahafahana mamerim-bola amin'io karazana asa io, na hoe nisy sa tsia ny fanamarinana nataon'ny Kaomisiôna an'ny Fiarahamiasan'ny Fanjakana sy ny Tsy miankina, tena zava-dehibe ny mampahafantatra ny vahoaka hoe rahoviana no hatao sonia ilay taratasy fifanarahana, raha misy ireo lafiny mahatonga resabe ao anatin'ilay fifampiraharahàna ary hoe inona avy ireo vokatra ratsy mety hitranga sy ireo fandaniana ho raisin'ny fanjakana an-tànana amin'ity tranga ity. |
30 | These questions regarding details of the tax-funded investment and the bidding procedures remain unanswered, and the state contract with the foreign investors has not been made public. | Mbola tsy nahazoana valiny hatreto ireo fanontaniana mikasika ny andinindinin'ny fampiasam-bola vatsian'ny hetra vola sy ireo fizotry ny fiantsoana ny tolotr'asa, ary tsy mbola naseho vahoaka ihany koa ny taratasy fifanarahana nataon'ny fanjakana niaraka tamin'ireo mpampiasa vola avy any ivelany. |
31 | As the delayed construction was finally set to begin in late September, journalists took a renewed interest in the project. | Satria napetraka ho atomboka ny faran'ny Septambra ny farany ilay fanorenana nahemotra teo, nanavao ny fahalinany amin'ilay tetikasa indray ireo mpanao gazety. |
32 | This latest confrontation between Istinomer's journalists and municipal police will most likely only intensify journalists' scrutiny of the project. | Toa vao mainka handrongatra ny fitiavan'ireo mpanao gazety hanadihady ilay tetikasa io fifandonana farany teo amin'ny mpanao gazetin'ny Istinomer sy ny polisy kaominaly io. |
