Belgrade: Croatia is leaving, but the streets of Brussels, Warsaw and Vienna are coming

The Members of the Belgrade Assembly have adopted the proposed decisions on the erection of a monument to three former mayors, Branko Pesic, Vlado Ilic and Milos Savcic, as well as on changing the name of Hrvatska Street in Kotez, at the initiative of citizens, to Glinskih zrtava 1941 Street.

Deputy Mayor Goran Vesic said that „Pesic, Ilic and Savcic were visionaries and they deserve the city to pay tribute to them“.

„Vlada Ilic gave all he had to Belgrade, he donated his estate for the Zoo, he built workers’ apartments within the factory, and he was convicted due to the fact that his factories worked during the German occupation and he ended up with a broom in his hand, refusing to go to England,“ said Vesic.

According to Vesic, Savcic pledged his property as mortgage in order for Belgrade to get a loan, while „Pesic is a symbol of the city’s development“.

Vesic said that Croatia did not deserve a street in Belgrade because of the crime committed as organized state genocide in the church in Glina.

„Everyone who respects Belgrade will be respected, and that is why the capital will get the streets of Brussels, Warsaw, Vienna,“ Vesic said.

He called on the states of the former Yugoslavia to cooperate on the principle of reciprocity when it came to naming streets, adding that Belgrade would get a street in Ljubljana.
