The Directorate for city land and construction of Belgrade together with Association of the architects of Belgrade released competition for architectonic solution of three squares at the city center, Terazije Square, Nikola Pasic Square and The Republic Square.
– When solutions arrive at that international competition and when the jury
picks up the best ones, we will in the upcoming years start developing the
squares. We think it is very important to develop the city center which should
start looking like developed capitals of Europe and this is the first step in
that objective implementation – the city manager, Goran Vesic said, Beoinfo reports.
According to him, during the next year, development of Terazijska padina which
is now undeveloped will start.
- Apart from that, early May should see rehabilitation of the Cvetni trg, at
the area where now shops are. This part
will be integrated into a whole and it will be one of more beautiful squares in
Belgrade. We are doing it with Delhaize and we will not use funds from the
budget for the project. We planned the Monument to Borislav Pekic here, our
famous writer –the city manager says.
He announced that next year, at least hundred mini parks will be developed,
forty of which developed this year.
They are developing 13,6 ha
The subject of the competition comprises three central city squares and public areas of streets connecting them into a functional whole on 13,6 ha.
The Republic Square – removal of Staklenac, relocation of the Monument of Branislav Nusic
First of all, it is necessary to give suggestion of program and design solution
for this development of free areas of Square.
Apart from that, it is necessary to define new public facilities in the part of
the block between Brace Jugovica street, Makedonska, the Square itself and the Bulevara
despota Stefana street. Temporray facility of Staklenac should be removed.
Specific purpose of construction in that area has not been defined. After that,
recommendation of the Bureau for protection of the monuments of the City of
Belgrade is that all facilities behind the cinemas Balkan and café Zora which
represent heterogeneous structure inadequate to the environment of the city
core and cannot be integrated in the future square transformation, are removed.
Architects should examine positions of entrance and exit in planned underground garage in the zone of the Republic Square, provide proposal of the garage and in line with the proposed solution, having in mind future metro station.
The Monument to Knez Mihailo and the "Millennium clock" will stay at the existing locations at the existing condition. Option of relocation of the Monument of Branislav Nusic to convenient location can be considered. Apart from that, connection between the central part of the Republic Square and the block between Brace Jugovica, Makedonksa and Bulevara despota Stefana streets via pedestrian connections should be considered. Apart from that, it is planned to increase greenery quality at the square.
Terazije
It is necessary to give proposal for partner development of the Terazije Sqaure
in context of uninterrupted public space, from Kalemegdan to Slavija. The
solution should enable multi-practical space usage.
Terazijska cesma and Spomen obelezje obesenima 1941 monument (the monument to the hung 1941) will stay at the existing locations. Architects should pay attention to increase of green area quality.

Karadjordjevic within the area of the National Assembly. Solution of new urban
pocket within Nusiceva which has been losing the character of transit passage
and has been becoming a place of staying, gathering and meeting should be
