The locals point out that the machines were in their village for several days, and that the construction workers present told them that they plan to test the soil hardness.
"These tests have been going on for two, almost three months. The engineers were in Maskar, on the stretch below the cemetery, namely, the tests were carried out across the street from the cemetery, and below my household, 130 meters from my house. I have to tell you that I don't mind the works at all, but there is some fear, about three hectares of my land are threatened, I have fields, prohibitions, and the house is close by. We know that the highway will be built, but where exactly it will pass and what will happen to our households and fields, no one tells us, Ivan Nikolić told RINU.
Mr. Nikolić adds that the workers who performed the soil tests said that they started their work at Markovac and will finish in Lazarevac, which would cover about 180 kilometers of the route.
