Opposition to the construction of an apartment building
– This is the 26th anniversary of the bombing carried out by NATO. We protest because this building was handed over to someone to profit from it-said 20-year-old Ognjen Pjevac. “This building should remain as a testimony to NATO's aggression,” he added.
The buildings were damaged during the bombing of then Yugoslavia to stop attacks on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
The buildings were designed by Serbian architect Nikola Dobrovic and built in 1957-1965. Their design is to resemble the canyon of the Sutjeńska River in Eastern Bosnia, where in 1943 one of the main battles of World War II was fought.
