As previously reported on this weblog, a group of architects from Subotica (Vojvodina/Serbia) had protested the demolition of a mid-19th century theatre building - listed as a historic monument - by the town authorities. Although a compromise seemed to have been reached with the mayor about the preservation of the structure’s oldest part, the battle has now been lost. Please find below a statement in reaction to these developments sent to me by Viktorija Aladzic.
