The Old Town Municipal Assembly launched an initiative to protect the famous "double circle" and to make the tram line a cultural asset and tourist attraction of the capital
The famous Belgrade tram number dva could slip off the rails into history, the mayor of Belgrade announced some time ago Aleksandar Šapić.
Takva announcement not all Belgraders liked her, so they protested because of that, and now the assembly of the Belgrade municipality of Stari Grad stands in defense of the duo.
The Old Town Municipal Assembly submitted an initiative for the protection of "circle of two” and tram line number two.
The initiative calls for this tram and the area known for decades as the "double circle" to be declared a cultural asset, i.e. the cultural and historical heritage of the capital, announced the president of the SO Stari Grad Marko Bastać.
"The circle of two represents the cultural identity and value of Belgrade, and therefore deserves to be a cultural asset and part of the cultural and historical heritage of this city, and the 'two' would thus become a tourist-travel line," said Bastać in a post on his Instagram account, writes eKapija.
The "Belgrade on the Move" organization also called on the authorities to permanently protect tram line number two as a cultural asset of Belgrade.
Removing the track
That the "circle of two" is under threat in the form in which the people of Belgrade have known it for decades became clear last spring when the mayor of Belgrade announced the arrangement of a new pedestrian zone between Knez Mihailova Street and Kalemegdan and the removal of the tram line, which is also served by tram two, from that part of Pariska Street.
Since then, Šapić has indicated on several occasions that the "dvoka" will not be abolished, but will be divided, but this clearly indicates that tram line 2 would no longer exist in its current form, as long as its designation remains.
When Šapić announced this idea, he referred to the plan from the 1980s, when, as he said, at the suggestion of Brana Jovina, this part from the Kalemegdan fortress to the Terazije fountain should be turned into a pedestrian zone.
"Our idea is to have a shuttle vehicle that will transport citizens who come to Tsar Dušan by tram to Uzun Mirkova and to the new square", announced Šapić in the spring of 2024, so that the Old Palace would recently re-actualize this idea, to which numerous citizens and associations responded, demanding that the "circle of two" be abandoned and that it be protected as a cultural asset.
