Photo: Milovan MilenkovićDue to the votes of SNS and SPS members, the proposal to name the square near Slavija after the great fighter for human rights was rejected. If the park in Slavija was named after Dušan Jovanović, it would be the first ever in Serbia to be named after a Roma
The Commission for Monuments and Names of Squares and Streets in Belgrade today made two decisions that will be added to a long list of wrong ones.
Namely, as announced by Vladimir Pajić, a member of the Movement of Free Citizens in the Belgrade City Assembly, the Commission did not accept the proposal to name the square near Slavija after Borka Pavićević, and as announced by Initiative A11, the Commission today postponed the decision on the initiative to rename the park in Slavija in "Park Dušan Jovanović".
"A better time will come that will understand its importance and role," wrote Vladimir Pajić on the X social network.
Four members of the Commission voted for, one against, and members from the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) abstained, so there was no majority for the adoption of the initiative to name the square in Slavija after Borka Pavićević.
"It was expected that the disastrous policy of the 1990s, which is repeated, would not support something like this," Pajić told "Danas".
According to him, it is a civic obligation and duty to talk about Pavićević, as well as to appreciate her work and advocacy for peace.
And if we need to remind you, Dušan Jovanović was a fourteen-year-old Roma boy who died tragically on October 18, 1997, in Beogradska street, not far from his home and the park in Slavija, by being brutally beaten.
A11 adds that his murder was motivated by racial hatred.
The initiative to rename the park on Slavija to Dušan Jovanović Park was submitted by his family and Initiative A 11, and it was supported by Dušan's department of Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School and the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality.
If the Commission for Monuments and Street Names had accepted their initiative, it would have been the first park in Serbia ever named after a member of the Roma community.
