The President of the Assembly of Niš, Igor Novaković, questions the importance of Zoran Đinđić and wants to delete his name from the list of city streets. This announcement caused a stormy reaction from the opposition
At the next session, the President of the Assembly of Niš, Igor Novaković (SPS) will request that Boulevard Dr. Zoran Djindjic in Niš, it gets its former name - Tasković Brothers Boulevard, which it had until March 15, 2004. On the other hand, Đorđe Stanković (NPS) proposes erecting a monument to Đinđić in Niš and points out that the Municipality of Medijana will be the initiator of this idea. Novaković replied that he would support it if the opposition supported the erection of a monument to Slobodan Milošević, writes "Južne vesti".
Novaković's initiative at the end of the 15th session of the Niš Assembly caused stormy reactions from the opposition. He believes that the Tasković brothers, as he says, the ancestors of the current director of the Directorate for Construction, Saša Tasković, deserve a boulevard in Niš more than "someone out there who was born in Bosnia or wherever".
I think that the time distance is too small for Dr. Zoran Đinđić Boulevard to continue to bear that name, and at the next session I will request to change it to Tasković Brothers Boulevard, because a brave mother and her two sons, otherwise known as Nišlije, are certainly more important figures for the city of Nis than someone who was born in Bosnia or elsewhere. You sent Milošević and General Lazarević to The Hague, and now I have a special motivation for this because we have a great director of the Directorate for Construction, whose last name is Tasković and he is a direct descendant of the Tasković brothers. I don't think we will have such a good director anytime soon. That inspired me to start this initiative - said Novaković.
I believe that in the less than two years he spent as prime minister, the man literally did nothing for Nis, except for passing the Privatization Law, which devastated the city of Nis. He is not the only one to blame, I mean the entire Democratic Party. You cannot come to terms with the fact that the first democratic elections were held in 1990. The first democratically elected president was Milošević, and the first democratic government - Dragutin Zelenović's government - emphasizes Novaković.
Among the opposition members who reacted negatively to this was Đorđe Stanković from the National Movement of Serbia, who said that it is perfectly fine for the Tasković brothers to get a boulevard or street in Niš, but that it can be another boulevard or street.
Great respect for the idea that the Tasković brothers get a street, but another street can be chosen. This name of Dr. Zoran Đinđić Boulevard is adequate. We would probably already be in the European Union if his murder hadn't happened - says Stanković.
He announced the initiative for Nis to get a monument to Zoran Đinđić.
The Municipality of Mediana can be the initiator of the idea, and the City can help. I think it is a symbolic moment, where we finally have to understand that we have lost about 20 years since he is gone. Our city, as one of the cities from which changes started, aspires to be a European city, and the moment in which we live is also important - there are many conflicts, there must be understanding on both sides. I understand if you won't accept it, but the proposal will remain and we will implement it when there is a change of government. Đinđić is a symbol of modern, European Serbia and modern, European Niš - he concluded.
