Serbian Prime Minister signs Avala Tower donors’ book

Belgrade, 29 July 2005

Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica today signed the Avala Tower donors’ book, dedicated to the construction of a new tower on Mount Avala.

“Just as nothing was able to separate Belgrade and Mount Avala throughout the centuries, so were Mount Avala and the Avala Tower only temporarily separated in the night of April 29, 1999. By the willpower and the love of its people, the dominant power of creation over destruction, the new-old Avala Tower is once again arising”, reads the Prime Minister’s message in the donors’ book.

The Serbian Minister of Capital Investment Velimir Ilic, Head of the Committee for the Avala Tower Reconstruction, as well as RTS General Manager Aleksandar Tijanic also signed the Avala Tower donors’ book.

All the donors for the Avala Tower reconstruction, the symbol of Belgrade, will sign the donors’ book, and following the reconstruction of the Avala Tower it will be displayed at a memorial space within the premises.

The Avala Tower, 202.87 metres high, was put to operation in 1965, and used to be one of the most significant works of Serbian architecture. The Avala Tower was unique because it stood on three legs leaning on foundation stones buried only 1.4 metres into the mountain rock.

The works on the Avala Tower reconstruction began in June this year, and the initiators for its reconstruction were the Association of Serbian Journalists and the Serbian National Television (RTS).
