Tomin's son demolished Jakura Jakšić's house

Shame: The ruined house of Jakure Jakšić in Kragujevac

The 19th century building in the center of the city collapsed for years, and on Saturday the diggers finally came to an end to the sad fate of this building. Kragujevac. As a reminder, the son of former Serbian president Tomislav Nikolic was named first man of the city four years ago.

JOBING IN SUPPLY

Instead of being protected as a cultural object, in addition to donning this important name of Serbian art, the house was a scandal for years. years. By negligence, seven years ago, it began to collapse and pose a danger to the citizens, and the authorities have done nothing to date to clean up the building.

Instead, a decision was made to demolish and build a new house, in which, as the company said yesterday, the "Wine Hunt" project will be realized.

Private Archives

For this, even 20 million dinars were allocated. For these vapors, the house could be completely restored, keeping its authentic appearance and preserving the memory of one of the most famous names of Serbian culture. It is therefore no wonder that such a gesture on the part of city authorities has angered Kragujevac.

The historian Srdjan Cvetkovic says it's about our relationship with the giants:

– The arrangement of such a house would not be a big expense, but it all speaks of our culture of memory. We usually have few monuments and museums, whereas in Hungary, for example, they are aware that the past affects the present and the future. This is reflected in the minds of the people.

Director Dragoslav Bokan equates this neglect of cultural heritage with treason.

20 MILLION DINARA WILL BE SAVED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN OBJECT IN THE HOUSE OF DJURE JAKŠIĆ S HOUSE

– Preserving the cultural heritage and commemorating the most important compatriots is the most important wish for all civilized countries. As a result, they are different from those who are in danger of forgetfulness. When it comes to Serbia, this duty is of vital national importance, more important than any other case in other countries.

ERRORS IN THE DEPRESSION

Natasa Jovanovic, secretary general of the SRS and nee Kragujevac, lived in a house opposite the former house of Djura Jaksic in Karadjordjeva Street. She says that she is very shocked and horrified by the demolition, as well as by the majority of Kragujevac.

– This is another bad action on the part of an incompetent mayor of Kragujevac. The current government led by Radomir Nikolic had to preserve this house. It had been ruined for years, but with the arrival of Radomir Nikolic, this terrible epilogue occurred.

Ivan Dubljanin, president of the DS of the Kragujevac DS, says that the new building will have nothing to do with the character and part of Jakura Jakšić.

– It's a shame of what happened at home, it was in such a bad state, and instead of doing what the authorities did, it seemed like they were going to collapse. Now city authorities, instead of preserving an authentic home, are building a new facility. And in this one, only one corner will be dedicated to Jakuri Jakšić.

REACTIONS

NIKOLIĆ The house has been ruined for many years, but it's not an excuse for those who have collapsed.

This is a question for Mayor Radomir Nikolic Milos Vucevic, SNS, Mayor of Novi Sad Such an object must be preserved because it can be a monument and a tourist attraction, and no city should allow it. I do not know exactly what happened at home, but it's not good news Vule Žurić, author Nothing unusual given the relationship between cultural leaders and our cultural heritage.
