In the center of Belgrade, the demolition of a house built in the late 19th century, which enjoyed cultural protection status, began. The profession has repeatedly stated that this building had cultural and historical value, because it reflected the architecture of the time in which it was built. The house was demolished by an investor who is constructing a modern building on the neighboring plot on Resavska Street, where he demolished a pre-war house also under protection six months ago.
Bulldozers demolished again the last weekend of the year. This time, the house on Misharska Street No. 3. Although abandoned and in ruins, it enjoyed the status of a cultural property under previous protection, as part of all of eastern Vracar.
The level of protection is the same as if it were a cultural monument, because the Law on Cultural Heritage does not make a difference, recalls Jovana Nedeljković from the organization “Evropa Nostra”.
“Demolitions, changes of appearance, purposes, properties of property that enjoy prior protection are not allowed, as long as it has that status. We must not damage her, we must not change her appearance in any way, ”says Nedeljković.
Cultural protection did not preserve the house designed by the famous Jovan Ilkić on the same plot, but on the neighboring plot. It was demolished to its foundations six months ago. On the site of a two-story house over a hundred years old, a modern ten-story house will be lower.
The investor of both the construction projects and the owner of both plots in Vracar, as well as the houses demolished in them, is the company “Desarrollos de Capital”. They received a building permit at Resavska, prior to that approval for demolition, and marked the construction site. In Misharska, workers, excavators and trucks, without construction board.
“The works are carried out by a subcontractor, that is, a company that takes care of these needs. The demolition, that is, the removal of the facility is carried out on the basis of a decision obtained from the Municipality of Vracar – Department of Construction and Community Affairs. The decision was also presented to the Belgrade Inspection Affairs Secretariat. ” said investor Dragisa Lukic.
The construction manager showed us the municipality’s solution. When asked why the construction site was not marked, he said it upset the truck.
“Because it bothers me. As a contractor, it bothers me, if I put a sign here, the truck can’t get in and out, is it here? And this should collapse. Come tonight at half past five, there’s a fence here and a sign here”. says the manager of the work.
It says the plaque is in a construction container at a construction site in Resavska. You say it’s “all the same”? A tenant of Resavska 27 says no, he didn’t.
Tenant:It is definitely not the same object.
Site manager:It is the same investor, it is the same contractor, it is all the same.
Tenant:Investor yes, but the ease is not the same. Not by square footage. That board is also not suitable for this location.
Coincidentally or not, the pre-war house on Mišarska Street was demolished exactly one day after the expiration of the status of a cultural property under previous protection in East Vračar, to which it spatially belongs. It will gain the new status within the next year, the Belgrade deputy mayor promised.
