As of Friday, December 27, the physical education professor and the librarian are acting directors of the National Museum and the National Theater in Nis.
As it was decided at the session of the Assembly of Nis, which ended on the night between Thursday and Friday at 1:44, the new acting director of the National Museum in Nis will be Marko Stošić, a councilor of United Serbia from Doljevac, who graduated from the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education. The head of the National Theater will be councilor of the same party, librarian Ana Savić.
Only the councilors of the ruling majority voted on them, because the opposition councilors left the parliamentary hall a little after one o'clock in the morning, with the message that they would not participate in parliamentary debates after midnight.
Midnight debate
Namely, as "Južne vesti" writes, the discussion on the appointment of new v. d director's meeting started only about 20 minutes before midnight, so Dragan Milić pointed out that important topics should not be decided at night, which is already a tradition in the Niš parliament this term. That is why the opposition says that they will no longer vote after midnight.
After they left, councilors of the coalition gathered around the SNS voted all the remaining items on the agenda in just 28 minutes, and at 1:44 a.m. they wished the citizens happy New Year's holidays and ended the session.
"JS gets two directorships, the Theater and the Museum. With due respect to all professions, how can a librarian and a physical education teacher be directors of those institutions? That it is a sports museum, so I understand. It is a degradation of the profession and specialty," said Dragan Milić to "South News".
What does the mayor say?
According to the mayor of Niš, Dragoslav Pavlović, "everyone should be given a chance." Directors who are given a chance are in acting status and if one of the directors does not work adequately and properly, there is the City Council, there is the Assembly and acting directors can be changed, just as we are appointing them now. That's why my message is - give people a chance. It's not about any chaos or anything illegitimate. There is only a normal continuity of the process in placing certain people in responsible positions".
Opposition councilors called the new acting directors "general practice experts".
Before this session, at which the acting directors of the National Museum and the National Theater of Nis were appointed, and immediately after they were proposed by the Nis Nomination Committee, the Museum Society of Serbia announced itself and sent open letters to the Mayor of Nis, Dragoslav Pavlović, the Assembly of the City of Nis, the Ministry of Culture and the Minister of culture to Nikola Selaković, who requested a review of that decision.
"The decision to appoint a person without professional qualifications and experience in the field of museology, history, history of art, archeology or related scientific disciplines sends the wrong message about valuing the profession and competences in the management of conservation institutions," said the Museum Society of Serbia.
But who cares what the profession thinks.
