When we came to work this morning, a destroyed two-dimensional monument with the image of Branko \u0106opi\u0107 awaited us on the staircase between Kara\u0111or\u0111eva and Fru\u0161kogorska streets. Together with the author of this work, our world-famous illustrator Du\u0161an Petri\u010di\u0107, in February 2022 we inaugurated this beautiful tribute to the beloved children’s writer whose life ended tragically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday, at exactly 11:36 p.m., a group of young men appeared from the direction of Kara\u0111or\u0111eva Street on the Male stepenice Street. Seemingly unprovoked, they broke off the upper part of Branko \u0106opi\u0107’s figure and threw the pieces towards the plateau below Branko’s Bridge, and then continued on their way towards Fru\u0161kogorska Street almost disinterestedly. The ease of vandalism indicates to us the truly worrying state in which Serbian society finds itself today, and this acute hatred for everything that represents normality, gentleness and beauty is one of the basic features of our dark everyday in which, unfortunately, many citizens participate in different ways. This event is by no means isolated, nor do we highlight it as something unusual for us, on the contrary. Just a month ago, seemingly random passers-by were threatening and insulting our employees while they were cleaning up the staircase and the entrance to our Center. Information\u00a0about that event has already been forwarded to the Ministry of Interior. Although these two attacks, in our opinion, are not directly related, they belong to a whole series of frequent threats, insults and attacks that we have been exposed to in the last year, which, in addition to a total of twenty-eight SLAPP misdemeanor charges against KROKODIL employees, worries us more and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
