WATCH THE MOVIE: Devastation of olympic mountains
Forty years after the Winter Olympic Games, the venues of competitions, the mountains near Sarajevo, Trebević, Bjelašnica, Jahorina, and Igman have become venues of fast-paced construction of tourist resorts, hotels and apartments. The forest is being cleared for construction of private buildings, apartments and hotels, with questionable validity of the permits issued by the municipalities. The origin of the money that is being used for what some are already calling ecocide and urbicide is a mystery for some investors.

Unlike any other city that hosted the Winter Olympic Games, Sarajevo continues to celebrate the anniversaries of this sporting event. The post-war tycoon team of construction preferences succeeds in what the war operations failed to do. Instead of athletes, the Olympic Mountains have become a gathering place of the elite for whom owning an apartment is a matter of prestige on that imaginary scale. They are unbothered by the origin of the invested money and whether the buildings were built in accordance with the law.
In this edition of Afera, we are following what is happening on two Olympic Mountains, Bjelašnica and Trebević. Watch the movie: "Devastation of olympic mountains":
