The director and editor-in-chief of "Vijesti", Marijana Kadić Bojanić and Srdan Kosović, handed over a donation to "Vijesti" - ten cypress seedlings - to the citizens of Bar who oppose the cutting of cypress trees in the courtyard of the Gymnasium.
Eight seedlings were placed inside the destroyed gymnasium yard, and two were taken in front of the Bar municipality building in a procession where citizens walked with whistles.
The two seedlings that were taken in front of the Municipality were intended for the President of the Municipality of Bar, Dušan Raičević, and the President of the SO Bar, Mić Orlandić.
In front of the gathered citizens, "Vijesti" thanked Miloš Pečurica for the donation, who said that "those who sit in the municipality, you cannot cut down how much we can plant".
"We will by no means give up our fight. We brought two cypress trees here near the municipal building, eight of them remained at the construction site, and I think it's time to plant them in the same place where the old cypresses were," said Pechurica.
Pečurica also said that they expect the city authorities to recognize the forest and start planting new cypress trees themselves.
The director of "Vijesti", Marijana Kadić Bojanić, thanked those gathered who oppose the cutting of cypress trees and expressed her hope that the donation and seedlings will give new energy.
"The desire of the citizens to preserve the green heart of the city was brutally cut short by this joke, and that's why we donated ten young cypress trees to Bar activists as a sign of a new and greener Bar in which the will of the citizens will be respected, but also common sense. I believe that those who ordered the cutting will repent and plant new trees because that's the only right way. The damage has already been done, but it can at least be mitigated. Everything else is irresponsible behavior towards citizens and nature," Kadić Bojanić said.
The editor-in-chief of ND "Vijesti", Srdan Kosović, said that as Baranin and a journalist, he wants to end such inactions.
"It is my honor to hand over the cypresses to you because the only way to fight against this scourge embodied in the cutting of cypresses is to create new value and a new life. Most of all, I want to congratulate you on the fight you have shown so far. Congratulations and go ahead," Kosović told the crowd. .
The participants handed over two seedlings to the municipal officials who accepted them.
Five days ago, more than 80 cypress trees were cut down in the courtyard of the Gymnasium in Bar, which was followed by the reaction of disgruntled citizens who are still resenting that decision today, as in previous days.
Today, the Municipality of Bar announced that the President of the Municipality, Dušan Raičević, ordered an urgent inspection of the construction site of the kindergarten.
