MEMORIAL PARK "BUBANJ" AFTER 1ST OF MAY HOLIDAY
4.05.2015

This year, once again, after the 1st of May holiday, there are ruined picnic places, piles of garbage, plastic bottles, bags, cans, food scraps. Usual sad picture which speaks of our consciousness, ecological culture and our responsibility.

Memorial park "Bubanj", a favorite resort of people from Nis, located in Palilula, after the holiday celebrations is buried with garbage, memorial place is all over written by graffiti, benches in the amphitheater are again damagedf, many improvised fire places and burnt trees left. President of Palilula Municipality, Boban Džunić, with municipal inspectors are at the very spot. He says that the vandals destroyed here also those things that has been recently done through the EU IPA program.

"The question of sustainability of all that we do to make our Palilula more beautiful is set here, we are making efforts for the quality of our citizens life. If we here have invested over 300 thousand euros and pass the appropriate control of our donors, it is then necessary to make conscience of our fellow citizens finally work, said Džunić. Our municipal inspectors, with given authorization, they are constantly in the field, however, it is difficult to sanction the doers of these outrages. Appropriate logistics and communal police of the city, as well as Appropriate presence of representatives of utility companies in the field is necessary. Penalties are relatively small for disrupting public order and the judges for offending acts are swamped with cases.

The president of Palilula reminded that there is a project for physical and technical supervision in the Memorial Park "Bubanj" for which costs about 20 thousand euros should be allocated. But, so far has not been found a solution to provide the necessary funds. Until then, the Memorial Park "Bubanj", which covers an area of about 60 hectares will remain unprotected.
