We are building a Natural History Museum across the river and next to it we will build a large Belgrade aquarium. Next to the airport, we will reconstruct the aviation museum. That's six new museums in the next three and a half years - said Finance Minister Sinisa Mali.
He also announced that the largest and most modern city market is being built under the Gazela bridge, while the Ložionica, a center for gathering and creativity of young people, will be completed by the end of the year.
"We are building a new bridge over the Sava River, instead of a tram bridge, it will be a bridge with two lanes in both directions, with a path for pedestrians as well as for cyclists." "Works on the construction of the tunnel that connects the plateau near the Faculty of Economics and Despota Stefana Boulevard will start in the next few weeks," he said.

The Minister of Culture Nikola Selakovič then repeated all that and specified that "the building of the old Railway Station from 1884 will, in the coming months, not in the coming years, but in the next two to three months, be one big construction site for the History Museum of Serbia". .
Then, said the Minister of Culture, the building of the former Post Office No. 2 by architect Momir Kurunović will get its old look, but as a completely new building.
"It will be one of the most beautiful facades in our city, but the facade is not important for the sake of the facade, the Children's Museum will be in that building." For the first time, we will have a Children's Museum, based on the example of the ZOOM Museum in Vienna, which should be an incubator to create future lovers and ambassadors of culture, future artists and cultural workers from our children," added Selaković and announced that within that museum there will be and two theater stages, as well as that the Museum of the City of Belgrade will finally have its own home and that it will be the largest museum in Serbia in terms of square footage.

Croatian producers have banned "Dražen" from being shown at the Balkan Festival of Film Directors, but not because they don't like Belgrade, but because of a conflict with director Danilo Šerbedžija
The jubilee 25th Exit may be the last one at the Petrovaradin Fortress. The reason: the organizers supported the student protests, so the government is denying them public funds. If this is the end — it will be the loudest, united cry for freedom

Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state.

Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
