On another attempt and almost imperceptibly, he sold himself to a woman from Belgrade. Almost 20 thousand square meters of the company MPP New Project paid 16.5 million euros, which was also the starting price. That company was the sole bidder and attracted public attention because it was recently established. It is also a subsidiary of the investment fund Marera Properties, which in recent years has been organizing commercial complexes in attractive locations in Belgrade and Novi Sad, while its associates connect with municipal and state officials.
The first skyscraper in the city center passed from the hands of all the Belgraders, after 46 years, to a boss. More precisely, lovers. Because the Belgrade Palace was bought by the investment fund subsidiary Marera Properties. There was no competition, so the whole thing lasted three and a half minutes. This is how this Belgrade citizen saw the delivery of a Belgrade woman to private capital.
“Except for two representatives of the bidders, members of the commission and myself, there was no one and everything went somehow in a friendly tone between the commission and the bidder, even in the end it was concluded that the invitation should be commission to see what the view is from Belgrade, “he says. Dobrica Veselinović of the initiative Let’s not drown Belgrade.
For the people of Belgrade, their memories went with this building.
“A woman from Belgrade is a package for me and now they have sold her”, “Sale of souvenirs”, “Belgrade woman sold for 16.5 million euros”, “More expensive square on the outskirts of Grocka than in the city center”, “Every day a new robbery. # Belgrade woman”, “Sold woman from Belgrade, what’s next” – are some of the tweets that commented on this sale.
The hosts, who as of today can boast of a gazebo with an inestimable view, have only been around for two weeks. They only have one hundred dinars in their coffers and have committed to investing at least eight million euros in Belgrade over the next three years. That shouldn’t be a problem, because the parent company is better off financially. According to journalist Mišo Brkić’s assessment, Belgrade’s property market is “burning and burning”.
“He has a very privileged status and got great jobs and valuable jobs, which can arouse suspicion in a kind of deal between business and politics, and that can be seen very clearly in the case of Belgrade and the case of Novi Sad,” said Brkic. .
Marera Properties’ offers include the purchase of the Beka building in Donji Dorcol. They list several other similar business centers in their portfolio. The director of the fund, as well as the company that owns the Belgrade woman, is Milana Srećkov since July. His predecessor at Marera was the Russian Oleg Novikov. Attorney Igor Isailović reported this change to APR. He was hired for his jobs by the Minister of Finance, Siniša Mali, and with the outgoing Prime Minister, he was even a co-owner of the company.
“It was to be hoped that the whole Belgrade woman thing would remain, so to speak, in the family circle, that is, in the circle of social media politics,” Brkić says.
The Russian fund, as he called it in his text, was investigated by Brkić in 2019, because it was mentioned in the media as a possible Belgrade builder in Water 2. He then established that it did not actually exist and that the APR record did exist. But in Cyprus. There is Marera Real Estate Limited, 100% owner of Marera Properties, while the real owner is Vladimir Zubrilin, a man with a Maltese passport.
“My investigation has shown that the owner of that company in Cyprus is a citizen of an eastern country, but even in that investigation I had the impression that the capital is not only his, but also comes from this area,” adds Brkić .
The new owners did not talk about the origin of the capital and how they got the job, they only promise that it will return it to its former glory, through innovative design and current trends.
