Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević is introducing parking fees in the neighborhoods of Trnsko and Lanište, contradicting his prior stance when in opposition, where he deemed such fees 'irrational' and harmful to citizens. This decision has sparked significant discontent among local residents, particularly in light of Tomašević's earlier criticisms of expanded parking fees. The HDZ party, specifically its branch in Novi Zagreb – west, has announced a gathering for residents, signaling an organized protest against the implementation of these charges.

In response to the controversial decision, the HDZ’s local branch has proposed that the Neighborhood Council of Lanište holds a meeting to discuss the implementation of parking fees and gauge residents' opinions, which would be binding for the council's subsequent decisions. This initiative aims to empower local citizens to have a say in changes that affect their daily lives, as they raise concerns over the increased financial burden of parking fees in their neighborhoods.

The same initiative is slated for Trnsko as well, where Mayor Tomašević's plan calls for parking charges. As the city grapples with financial pressures and the need for revenue generation, the pushback from these communities highlights the tension between local governance decisions and public sentiment, suggesting an ongoing conflict between the administration and constituents that could shape future policies in the area.
