Another villa in Vra\u010dar has been demolished, and a multi-story building will be constructed in its place. It might not have attracted public attention had it not been in the process of obtaining cultural heritage status. However, the authorities \u201cfell silent.\u201d And the excavators got to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vra\u010dar has been left poorer by one work of architect Branislav Koji\u0107. In Mome Kapora Street, only ruins remain of what was once a villa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it did not have to end in ruins. The Belgrade Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments wanted otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey entered the building into the register of properties under preliminary protection in March 2021,\u201d says Sonja \u0106iri\u0107, journalist of the weekly \u201cVreme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This type of protection lasts three years by law, the N1 interlocutor explains, and in practice means that no one is allowed to demolish the building until the City Institute makes a decision on its status, that is, until it assesses whether it will become a cultural monument or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
