In Belgrade’s Sava Square, the reconstruction of which is underway, the installation of parts of the Stefan Nemanja statue has begun, which will be fully completed in the next 10-15 days.
The pedestal of the monument was almost completely erected, that is, the broken Byzantine helmet with mosaics with details of the life of Stefan Nemanja and the history of Serbia inside, which, according to the Deputy Mayor Goran Vesić, were made with the same technique as the mosaics of the Temple of Saint Sava.
He announced to Tanjug that a group of Russian sculptors and masters will arrive in Belgrade on November 12, who will work on the skating of the monument, which, he added, will begin around November 20.
He added that the author of the monument, Russian sculptor Aleksandar Rukavishnikov, was supposed to arrive in Belgrade on November 12, but that it was postponed because he had not yet received permission to leave the country due to the coronavirus epidemic, as he has more than 65 years.
Vesić said the monument is expected to be completely finished between December 15 and 25, but that citizens will not be able to see it until all the works on Sava Square are completed.
– The inauguration of the monument itself depends on when all the works on the square will be completed, which are extensive, but in the next few months we can hope that everything is finished and that we will get a square that I think everyone will be proud of – said Vesić .
Among other things, he claimed that a sewage pumping station was being built near the monument, adding that on the other side of Sava Square, below the Sveti Sava Hospital, there was an old pumping station built between the two world wars.
– The time has come to build a completely new station that will take over the function of the previous one and will have a much higher capacity – said Vesić.
