The demolition of two Belgrade villas, at Hadža Milentijeva 72 and 47 on Neimar, began on Saturday, before the holiday, at a time when excavators were still arriving in front of beautiful houses to remove them and free up space for some impersonal but profitable ones for the investor.
In this case, it is "Homes and Villas", they have already created a building in Lamartinova street that stands out and stands out from the surroundings, the quiet residential area of Neymar. Based on the available renderings, it is clear that the one in Hadža Milenti will not be better either.
A pearl of heritage
Until Saturday morning, there was a villa at 72 Hadza Melentieva, built in 1927 for Jakov Kozinski, a civil engineer of Russian and Jewish origin, and it represented the pearl of our architectural heritage. In its place, it is planned to build a building that would have two underground floors, a ground floor, three floors and one floor. Also, the building at 47 Hadza Melentieva, where the famous restaurant "Đorđe" used to be, will have similar floors.
The Secretariat for Urban Planning and Building Permits rejected the investor's request to obtain a building permit three times due to various irregularities, until this August. They didn't announce it anywhere.
Vračar residents and experts believe that the municipal government enables the demolition of such houses. In 2020, the temporary protection of these in Hadža Milentijeva expired, and the government was not interested in renewing them. So she gave the green light to the investors to demolish them.
The government does not want to save Neymar
In March 2022, the residents of Vračar submitted to the Ministry of Culture an elaboration on placing Neymar under protection, on the declaration of this part of the municipality as a spatial entity. Neimar represents one of the most beautiful parts of the capital of the last century, and it is bordered by Maksim Gorky, Đorđe Weifert, International Brigades and Nebojšin streets. In the last few years, numerous buildings of exceptional value, as well as those that enjoyed previous protection, have been targeted by investors. To date, the Ministry of Culture has not sent their proposal to the Government for consideration.
Neda Maletić from the Society for the Preservation of Neymar tells the "Vremena" portal that they learned that "the Ministry returned their proposal to the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, and that they forwarded it to the City Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments." They just find reasons to delay the process, obviously they don't want to save and protect Neymar".
A very small number of town villas from the beginning of the last century remain on Neimar, witnesses of the architecture and life of that time.
