It has been officially confirmed that Jasmina Ninkov is the new acting director of the National Library of Serbia, as "Vreme" reported two days ago. The first attempt to head the NBS, in 2013, failed
As the "Vreme" portal announced two days ago, the new acting manager of the National Library of Serbia is Jasmina Ninkov, director of the Belgrade City Library.
She was appointed by the Government of Serbia at a session on Thursday, July 17, a day after it was announced in the media that Vladimir Pistalo resigned. As stated in the Official Gazette, the former director of the National Library of Serbia, Vladimir Pistalo, was relieved of his duties at his personal request.
Jasmina Ninkov has been the director of the Belgrade City Library since 2009, and seven years before that she was the head of the "Milutin Bojić" library. She was a member of the Democratic Party, and now she is in the SNS.
Jasmina Ninkov comes to the head of the National Library with a reputation as a director who had conflicts with employees.
The media particularly covered the events in the City Library from 2013, when 60 employees demanded its dismissal, including the Management Board. In the request of the Board of Directors, it was written that Ninkov refuses to "resolve the crisis that has been going on in the collective for eight months, that tensions in the library were stirred up by a series of appearances by the director in the media, that the idea of a successful management style was being built, while the requests of about sixty employees to review the director's financial operations, personnel and business policy remained unanswered."
The Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade did not accept their request.
That same year, Jasmina Ninkov applied for the position of director of the National Library of Serbia, and out of five applicants, she was among the two most serious candidates, but was not selected.
Then, on the occasion of her candidacy, employees from the City Library reminded the media of the following: "When she accepted the position of director, Jasmina Ninkov, among other things, told the employees that she was appointed with the support of the Democratic Party. She still maintains that the position of library director is a political position."
