The fire in the Chinese shopping center is part of a plan to demolish that center and evict the owners, so that the owner of the plot can build eleven floors, opposition member Đorđe Miketić claims for "Vreme".

The fire in the Chinese shopping center in New Belgrade is "part of the extortion for the sake of an exclusive building plot and the expulsion of the owners of small shops", Đorđe Miketić, the president of the Belgrade committee of the "Together" party, claims for "Vreme".

"It's a very profitable fire." happened this morning in New Belgrade and swallowed the shopping center, but also someone's property, workplace, valuables," says Miketić.

According to him, the owner of the plot on which the Chinese shopping center is located in block 70, as well as the neighboring plots, is the company ENJUB, which partly belongs to Ernegoprojekt, and deals with real estate.

"Firefighters came only after half an hour"

Miketić reminds that the first request of ENJUB to obtain location conditions for construction on the neighboring plot was rejected in June 2022, and that a new one was submitted in July 2023.

"But the procedure has not been completed even though it has been a year and a half, which is unusually long." It's as if the city administration is waiting for a fire or a disaster in order to obtain the location conditions for both parcels that will probably be united," suspects Miketić.

As he says, now the Chinese shopping center, after the second fire in a couple of years, will become unsafe for use and "soon it will be possible to demolish it". "According to eyewitnesses, the firemen came only after half an hour," says Miketić.

As he adds for "Vreme", the fire was the only way to evict the owners of the premises. "Now the owners will accept any compensation for their property from ENJUB."

Why is Šapić silent?

As Miketić says, ENJUB is actually controlled by the "controversial Dobroslav Bojović, who became the majority owner through dubious means, and since he took control of the famous Yugoslav giant, he fired people and lowered the price, which caused the state as a co-owner to be damaged by more than 35 million euros".

He doubts that, if the city of Belgrade issues location conditions for the unified plots, an eleven-story building will be erected there.

"This is precisely why today Šapić does not appear on the spot and that is why he is silent while New Belgrade is suffocating in toxic smoke from the Chinese shopping center, because there is a barbaric robbery of the city and its citizens going on - set fire and loot," adds Miketić.

We remind you that earlier today a fire was extinguished in a Chinese shopping center. According to the first data, there were no injuries.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
