Petlovo Brdo

The name of the hill appeared after 1950.^[1]

By 2010, total forested area in the neighborhood covered 8.74 ha (21.6 acres)^[2] With the expansion of the population of jackals in the Belgrade's outskirts since the 2000s, the jackals were reported around the neighborhood in the spring of 2022.^[3]

In the southwest part of the neighborhood, along the Kružni put and its crossroad with the Ibar Highway, a park named Borići ("small pines") was formed. Apart from the existing interchange, a new, looped one for the intersection of the Ibar Highway and the projected Belgrade bypass was planned. In 2013, it counted 1,652 individual trees and the original project envisioned cutting of the entire park. Citizen protested but in time divided in two groups. After negotiations with the planners, one group accepted cutting of 261 trees, while the other opposed any cutting, asking for the rerouting of the bypass.^[4][5]

In May 2018, amidst the ongoing protests in the park, backed up by the police, the state road company cut some 160 trees claiming that it will reforest the remaining part, build a children's playground and the noise barrier. They also accused "some 100 protesters" for delays of 5 years and diminished safety for "millions of commuters", even though construction of the bypass began in 1991 and at this time it is not even half finished. Some citizens continued with the protests.^[4][6]
