Annie why so far has not been officially told, Pristina Deputy Chairman Selim Pacolli has stated that such a request has been made to representatives of the Government of Kosovo, which has been asked to initially revote the decision with which this object was announced in October last year.
Former “Grmia” entered the list of heritage under temporary protection when the debate over whether this object should be guarded or destroyed was at the peak. The list is one year long. To get out of the list, it is currently impossible, as the crucial word must give the Kosovo Council for Cultural Heritage, which as an organ has not been operational since July last year.
A meeting of all parties on the issue was held a month ago.
Pristina Deputy Chairman Selim Pacolli has said that at that meeting, representatives of the Office of Prime Minister, Ministry of Culture and representatives of the European Union Office in Pristina have been discussed about the possibility of finding a compromise to remove the building from the list of cultural heritage under temporary protection.
So we consider this object, "Grmia," does not own any criteria or standards to be protected as a monument. As the only value has been specified, and the external facade, which has already been damaged years ago, when it has been cut into parts to open”, Pacolli said. According to him, at the end of the meeting the parties have agreed that representatives of the Government should talk with the Ministry of Culture to provide epilogues to the issue. According to him, unless a deal is reached more quickly risks losing the 15m-euro grant to the concert hall.
“Yes, however”, he has answered the newspaper's question whether the current building should be destroyed.
According to Pacolli, the municipality is looking at the possibility that the new music school will be built in that space along with the concert hall.
The European Union office in Kosovo is waiting for Kosovo institutions to find a space for the construction of the concert hall.
