The appearance of percussion instruments, i.e. "pears", which are usually seen at fairs, in the city center, and in the wider city center in Novi Sad, caused mostly negative comments.
Someone chat in the city administration, the idea of setting it up sounded reasonable, but the problem is the following - the idea is, to put it simply, stupid, writes 021.rs.
It is unclear, really, who thought that a fair near the monument to the Victims of the Raid or in the city center could be a good idea?
Even more bizarre is the explanation of the city administration that the device was placed in Jevrejska Street "for the purpose of promoting and motivating young people to engage in sports and martial arts."
Texts about those devices caused a large number of comments on social networks and the 021.rs portal, and these are some of them:
"When I think we've reached the bottom, a 'pear' appears to be struck by the monument to the Victims of the Raid".
"The City Administration for Communal Activities is to blame for the primitive content on public city areas intended for the gathering of citizens, recreation and traffic. No one, until today, thought of placing this kind of primitive attack on the senses as an urban content of the city. Nowhere."
"This is excellent. I like it. I expect slot machines, roulette, jack-pot on every street. People should be given the opportunity to earn, and I hope that benefactors will come forward."
"Radicals are known for their urban aesthetics. Where will Novi Sad's Ćaciland be?"
"The image and opportunity of the progressive government is not about brains, but about who will be stronger."
"Well, the government is like someone from a fair."
"This with the beating devices at the entrance to the Strand (they blocked half of the walking path), at the monument to the Raid Victims, at Elektrovojvodina across from the Promenade, is so indescribably miserable that it's really hard to find words. Novi Sad has really become Village 2.0 with these."
"A progressive vision of sports and youth development."
