Citizens of Dubrovnik are to vote at a referendum on Sunday 28 April to show whether they support or object to the proposed construction of a golf course and villas, hotels and apartments on the plateau of the Srdj hill overlooking that southern coastal town.
For the referendum to be successful, at least 50% of the town's 37,952 eligible voters are required to cast their vote.
Town councillors on April 6 adopted the referendum question: "Do you support the adoption of the urban plan which among other things approves the construction of a golf course and accommodation facilities (villas, hotels and apartments) on the plateau of Srdj hill?"
According to the electoral committee, a total of 59 polling stations will be opened and details of how many voters have attended the referendum will be released at 11 am and 4 pm.
Construction of a golf park on the hill above Dubrovnik has caused controversy over the past few years and a civil action group has objected to the project and initiated the collection of signatures for the referendum.
