Characteristics
The city government considers the settlement a 'wild' one as it was built without any permits or plans. In 2006 the streets were paved and bus line connecting Busije to Batajnica was introduced and a church dedicated to Cyrill and Methodius was built. Busije is missing basic infrastructure (including schools, ambulances, post offices, etc.) but as inhabitants began to legalize their houses (majority is still either illegal or in a process of legalization), city government adopted a regulatory plan for Busije in December 2007. It is estimated that some 750 families (3,000 people) live in Busije (2006), out of which 90% are refugees from Croatia, and covers an area of 300 hectares. Plan anticipates further individual residential development, traffic connection to all neighboring settlements (Batajnica, Nova Pazova, Ugrinovci) and construction of three elementary schools, three kindergartens, settlement's daily center, retirement home, ambulance, sports terrains, etc.
The settlement remains the subject of a dispute between the Radical's municipal government (claiming that city government is not doing anything to make life easier for the population) and Belgrade city government which claims that municipal government had no rights to sell those lots but they did it to take money from the people and thus created a problem.
