Given that the state's statement on the use of the right of pre-emption of the Genex tower was not received until yesterday, the signing of the sales contract with the company "Eureka bar" should be done on Monday.
The calculation is as follows: the thirtieth day of the auction was March 13. However, since there is a possibility that the state decided to announce its decision on that very day and sent it to the Bankruptcy Trustee Licensing Agency (ALSU) by mail, it was necessary to wait another five working days for the mail to deliver the parcel. Now all those legal deadlines have passed, and the signing of the contract between ALSU and Aleksandar Kajmaković, Ace Bosanc, owner of "Eureka Bar".
After that, the Commercial Court issues a decision on the sale, and the tenants file an appeal and gain time to ensure that the Genex Tower does not become a hotel or a restaurant.
The resolution of their other applications, in which they are trying to challenge this sale, is ongoing. The manager of the housing association Genex tower Božidar Stavrić tells the "Vremena" portal that they are waiting for the reports and opinions of the "Prosecution Office for Organized Crime and the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office", he says that the Assembly of Creditors and the Housing Association have submitted objections and that they have asked for a temporary measure, "we have appealed again to the President and the Government, we request the suspension of sales and the dissolution of the Agency for Licensing Bankruptcy Trustees".
They also requested a new assessment of the value of the commercial half of the building, and they submitted to the Commercial Court an initiative to sell the commercial building by floors.
"If it is judged according to the law, the Commercial Court will cancel the sale in the first instance," Stavrić expects.
They recently received a response from the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Belgrade, on the basis of which it can be seen that they support the right of pre-emption, but that it does not depend on them.
Because the Institute "does not have its own funds in the amount of the offered price for the sale of the building in question, and it has not received guidelines from the competent institutions of the Republic of Serbia for further action, despite the importance and significance of the cultural property that the subject real estate enjoys", writes in the answer.
