Kostunica opens works on Avala Tower reconstruction
Belgrade,
24 June 2005
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica opened today the works on the rebuilding of the Avala TV Tower and he said that the re-erection of the tower will be a signal of a firm belief that any creation is more powerful that any destruction.
The Avala telecommunications tower was destroyed on April 26, 1999, during the NATO bombardment of Yugoslavia and today’s ceremony was attended by Minister of Capital Investment Velimir Ilic, RTS General Manager Aleksandar Tijanic, and numerous other public figures.
Avala tower was designed by architects Ugljesa Bogunovic and Slobodan Janjic and used to be one of the most significant works of Serbian architecture. It was put to operation in 1965. The tower was 202.8 meters high, it held 4,000 tonnes of concrete and stood on its three legs which were leaning on foundation stones buried only 1.4 metres into the mountain rock.
