Vesic: Buildings in Cultural-Historical Parts of Vracar Should Have No More Than Three Floors and a Loft

The deputy mayor of Belgrade, Goran Vesic, has stated that, this week, he will propose to the city’s Urban Planning Institute and the Secretariat for Urban Planning for plans to be amended so that new buildings in the protected cultural-historical units in Vracar can only have two floors (including the ground floor) and a loft, or a maximum of three floors (including the ground floor) and a loft, instead of four floors and a loft, which they are allowed to have now, Beoinfo reports.

Vesic said that, in the preceding four years, the City of Belgrade had defined three cultural-historical units in Vracar, namely, Smiljaniceva Street, the Krunski Venac neighborhood and the Vracar Plateau.

– We expect the government to pronounce Krunska Street and Kotez-Neimar cultural-historical units, and the East Vracar cultural-historical unit is being prepared – Vesic said and added that some of those seven cultural-historical units had been defined and that some would be in the current year and noted that, in the preceding 61 years, no such unit had been pronounced or protected in Vracar.
