 In 2003 a petition signed by 17,000 inhabitants from the area was handed to the Belgrade City Assembly which, at the time, judged that conditions for creation of new municipality were not fulfilled.In 2005 Municipal assembly of Palilula finally accepted to support the move but later decided the opposite so the Organization of the establishment of the municipality of Dunavski Venac announced it will sue the municipality of Palilula.The Supreme Court of Serbia denied jurisdiction in this case.
