History

The construction of Satelit began in 1957, when the first houses were built in the area now known as Tozinovac. Mass construction between 1976 and 1980 merged Satelit into the New Neighborhood (Novo Naselje), later named Bistrica. Between 2000 and 2020, most of Tozinovac was dismantled to make way for the Bate Brkića Boulevard extension, connecting it with Futoša street. Several new apartment buildings were constructed in the southern parts of Bate Brkića.
