In November 2011, the Ministry privatized the land by selling it to Amadeus Group DOOEL, an Albanian company, which planned to build a Baroque-style hotel complex on the site. From time to time over the years, the authorities have come and removed the Romas' property and/or destroyed their homes, without offering them any alternative accommodation. 

On 13 June 2016, the European Roma Rights Centre (the ERRC) wrote to the Municipality of Centar, and various other municipalities in Macedonia, on behalf of those Roma living in the municipality who did not have access to a safe supply of drinking water.  Among other demands, the ERRC asked about what steps the municipality would take to ensure access to the water supply for Roma. The ERRC has so far received responses from various municipalities, but not yet from Centar [4].

The Roma living in the settlement have rebuilt their homes out of available materials. On 11 July 2016, the municipality of Centar made a decision to “clean” the settlement, in accordance with Article 27 of act no.111/2008 on public cleanliness. The Roma never received any formal notice that they would be evicted from their homes.

On the morning of 1 August 2016, the police, apparently acting on the orders of the Mayor of Skopje Koce Trajanovski, entered the settlement and destroyed the community's only water source. Later that day, bulldozers arrived and demolished the Roma’ homes, along with those of other individuals living in the settlement. [2]

As of 2019, 15 families have been offered accommodation in housing containers in the place called ‘Vizbegovo’, while up to seven families (50 individuals, children included) still remains to live in the ‘Polygon’ place. Roma who remained to live in the ‘Polygon’ has re-installed the water pump. They have connection to electricity from 6pm till 6 am, and there is an informal waste disposal site nearby. Children in particular are exposed to skin infections because of the waste and lack of water. [1]

The overtones of environmental discrimination are obvious. The community were left without shelter until the weather became so cold that their lives were at risk. Since that time, various places have been offered in cramped, unhygienic conditions in shelters, including in shelters where the community members are at risk of racially-motivated violence. The Amadeus Group DOOEL, as of 2019 did not start building the hotel as it was anticipated.
