Municipal Assembly of Gracanica, on the proposal of the Mayor Srdjan Popovic, issued a decision banning the change of land use from an agricultural into the building land outside permitted the construction zone, reports KIM radio.

This point of the agenda was explained by the Director of the Department for Urban Planning, Planning and Environmental Protection in the municipality of Gracanica, Dejan Jovanovic.

"The goal is to protect agricultural land and to prohibit further transformation into building land. In this way, we will have a barrier or a parliamentary decision, which, by automatism, rejects the requirements related to construction outside the zone," Jovanovic said.
