 Crvenka gained some public notoriety when on 2 April 2016 a murder occurred on the settlement's embankment.Little known folk singer Jelena Marjanović was murdered and the viciousness of the crime, botched investigation by the police and a fact that the crime has not been solved, turned the murder into the cause célèbre in Serbia.In the mid 2000s, city government announced plans to urbanize the area which would be centered at Crvenka, as the core of the future „Third Belgrade“ (after „old“ Belgrade and New Belgrade).
