After three months without a leader, according to the decision of the Ministry of Culture, Nenad Milenović, a historian, was appointed acting director of the Belgrade City Library, although he does not have five years of work experience in culture, which is prescribed by two laws, or ten, which is prescribed by the Statute of the Library
Jasmina Ninkov became acting manager of the National Library of Serbia after 16 years as director Belgrade City Libraries.
She was appointed by the Government of Serbia at a session on Thursday, July 17 of this year. The Ministry of Culture dismissed her from the position of director of the Belgrade City Library only after that, on August 7.
New acting director
The Belgrade City Library is the largest public lending library in the country. And yet, until last week, that is three months, she did not have a director.
According to the decision of the Ministry of Culture, Nenad Milenović was appointed acting director of the Belgrade City Library, which was published in the "Official Gazette" of November 14.
Milenović (1978) is the current director of the "Milutin Milanković" high school students' home in Belgrade, he finished history at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and is preparing his doctoral dissertation, he is an official of the SNS as a councilor and head of the parliamentary group of the Palilula municipality in Belgrade, and an article about his visit to Ćaciland in mid-March first appeared on the Internet with his name.
What do the laws say?
According to the Law on Culture, Article 36, a director candidate must be highly educated and have "at least five years of work experience in culture". The same conditions are required for the acting director. The Law on Library and Information Activities foresees the same profile of the newly elected director.
And, finally, according to the Statute of the City of Belgrade Library, in addition to higher education, the director as well as the acting director must have "at least ten years of work experience in culture and in the profession, of which at least six years of work experience in managing institutions in the field of culture".
Nenad Milenović has a rich biography, but he has only two years of work experience in culture as the president of the Board of Directors of the Culture Center "Vlada Divljan" in Palilula.
According to Article 17 of the Law on Library and Information Activities, the director of the library, which performs registry functions, is appointed by the Minister of Culture with the consent of the National Library of Serbia.
This means that Nikola Selaković appointed Nenad Milenović to manage the Belgrade City Library, even though he has no work experience prescribed by law, and that Jasmina Ninkov, acting manager of the National Library of Serbia, agreed to this.
Nenad Milenović was appointed acting director of the Belgrade City Library for one year.
Now the City Library will be able to forward this change to the Business Registers Agency (APR) so that the name of the previous director, Jasmine Ninkov, will be deleted in the column "legal representative of the institution", and the name of Nenad Milenović will be entered. At the same time, it explained why, based on the documents of the APR, it was interpreted that Jasmina Ninkov is the head of both the National Library of Serbia and the Library of the City of Belgrade.
