Belgrade Deputy Mayor Goran Vesic held a meeting with representatives of the Belgrade Roma Association "Aunt Bibia" about the problems with investors who wanted to demolish this building, which is the only monument to Roma victims in the First World War
The meeting was also attended by the city secretary for social protection Natasa Stanisavlevic, as well as the director of Zavdodt for protection of cultural monuments of the city of Belgrade Olivera Vuckovic.
- We talked about the problem on the street 49 Gospodar Vucic, ie the investor, to destroy the place where the representatives of this Association perform their religious rites and a place in Serbia as the only monument to Roma victims in the First World War.
It was concluded that it is inadmissible and that the Roma have the right to have their own mark. It is a place where it has been used in this way for decades and maybe a century, and it is inappropriate for anyone to try to demolish this monument.
Vesic said that the city of Belgrade did not sell the place of the investor, but it was shot by the Republic of Serbia. He mentioned that it must be an administrative mistake and that now the city of Belgrade needs to correct that mistake!
