Village for sale – sounds extremely strange, but true. If you want and have money, you can become the owner of the Brezna village center near Gornji Milanovac. In this way, his property would become a house of culture, a local community, a store, half a post office with two departments and some four hectares of arable land. All you need to do is agree with the current owner Milivoje Filipović, who has decided to sell it all to someone who wants to continue to prevent the town from being forgotten.
The town of Brezna, once one of the largest in the municipality of Gornji Milanovac, has suffered the fate of many places in Serbia that have been abandoned and extinct. That is why in this town everything that can be sold is offered to buyers. Milivoje Filipović, a few years ago, tried to save his homeland from smugglers and merchants by buying the town center.
“The state decided to sell the cooperative. I came back from France, and for the rest I started working in that cooperative, before I went to France. I decided to buy everything mainly for the hall of the House of Culture to organize celebrations, dances, weddings … But now that I’m older, no one is going to help me, to come to Brezna, and I don’t need this anymore, ”says Filipović.
After World War II, this town flourished in a short time. A cooperative was opened, which bought fruits and vegetables from the locals. That is why it quickly became the center of events in this area.
Brezna used to be a successful fruit growing area. Until ten years ago, there were a lot of people here. The locals had someone to talk to and drink brandy for, which is why this area is famous. That is no more and there are only abandoned buildings left as a monument to witness that time.
The fact that the inhabitants of Brezna did not have to go shopping in Gornji Milanovac or Čačak shows the success of this area. Everything existed in the local store.
“Everything was sold here. It did not become something that could not be bought in the village. From textiles to tractors. The cooperative sold thousands of agricultural machines, tractors, potato diggers”, says Filipović.
Safes and director chairs are still preserved in the cooperative’s offices. Filipovic bought a culture house, a local community, a shop, half a post office with two apartments and about four hectares of arable land. As he is getting old, Milivoje feared losing the battle with age, so he decided to sell this great value for him to someone who is equally willing to keep it. He says he paid around 27,000 euros for everything, and that he is not looking to make money from it.
“It would be good to keep the current look. There is land if someone wants to do something. You can build 20 sculptures, houses or whatever you want. Nothing, even if no one comes to buy it. I don’t need land,” says Milivoje.
Filipović says he has no regrets if no one wants to buy the town center from him. He has a daughter and grandchildren, so as he says “let them do with the inheritance what they want.”
