On Sunday, 10th May 2026 during the clean up action “Zavrni rukave” (Roll up Your Sleeves), students and employees of Secondary Grammar and Economics School “Branko Radičević” and Secondary Vocational School “Vasa Pelagić” in Kovin, together with The Association of Sportfishermen and Sailors “Dunav” from Kovin and “Contra Margum” Citizen Association as well as our fellow citizens who joined us, we cleaned up all the waste on the river bank along the pier of Kovin.
Like the entire Serbia, the action took place from 10 to 12. “Contra Margum” Citizen Association provided protective gloves, necessary tools and refreshments for all the participants, while Mr Aleksandar Vučić – Kamenjar donated bags and participated in the action himself.
About 80 participants, some of whom arrived with their pre-schoolers, filled around 60 bags of 150 l volume with waste collected alongside the Danube bank.
We used the opportunity this day to water all the trees we had planted on Dunavac during the “My tree 004” event and introduce Celtic tree horoscope within “Green City” initiative. According to our previous agreement with Public Utility Company “Kovinski komunalac”, their employees will collect the waste on Monday and take it to the landfill.
The Association of Sportfishermen and Sailors “Dunav” from Kovin donated freshly caught freshwater fish which was expertly prepared and served at the “Riblja čarda” restaurant.
We are grateful to everyone who participated and helped make our Kovin cleaner and more beautiful.
