Coincidentally or not, the just-mentioned decision was made on the same day that last year the Government of the Republic of Serbia removed the status of protected cultural property from two buildings of the General Staff.
Both decisions were not made according to current laws.
Ex officio deletion
This was pointed out by Sanja Solarević, the independent councilor of Savski venc, on her Instagram profile.
He explains to "Vreme" that "with this decision, the record of the property of cultural property was deleted from the plots of land on which these cultural properties are located."
It says that "The Cadastre Savski venac carries out the deletion of the record of the property of cultural property ex officio, and on the basis of the illegal and unconstitutional lex specialis for the General Staff."
"Namely, in the decision deleting this note, they refer to the provisions of the lex specialis, which declared the decision from 2005 to protect the buildings of the General Staff of Nikola Dobrović to be null and void. At the same time, they ignore the fact that the other two cultural monuments located on those plots - the buildings of the Barracks of the Seventh Regiment and the Old General Staff, were declared cultural assets by other decisions, which are not even mentioned in the lex specialis."
They also deleted two cultural assets
Solarević recalls that "the Barracks of the Seventh Regiment was protected as a cultural monument in 1992, and the Old General Staff in 1984.
"At the same time, it was stated in the decision that the notice of cancellation of the status of cultural property was entered based on the Government Decision of November 14 last year, even though the Barracks of the Seventh Regiment and the Old General Staff were not removed at that time."
"Aleksandar Vučić is obviously in a hurry to demolish the General Staff not only to give almost four hectares of valuable land in the center of Belgrade across from the RS Government building to Donald Trump's son-in-law and thus buy his support, but also to destroy the symbol of resistance and one of the few remaining physical reminders of the NATO bombing in 1999 by destroying our cultural heritage," believes Sanja Solarević.
