Musala
should become, very soon, a large building site.
After his returning from the U.S.A., where he
stayed for five days and talked to head people of
the firm, "Osborn Managment Company",
Safet Oručević announced the soon beginning
work on the reconstructing of Tito's villa. In
comparison with his words, Americans are
willingly to reconstruct this international
beautiful object, which should be based on mutual
deposition. And something more: Americans, as
ultimatum, are demanding that the villa should
keep Tito's name. They are proposing that the
name of our ex president, of our formerly
homeland, will be an attraction for tourists. In
the same time it was also talked about hotel
"Neretva", but because of a last
damage, they are going to have to approach to
demolishing the rest and reconstructing a new
hotel, which should be an identical copy of the
old one.
After
constructing the "Neretva" it will be
approached also to the reconstruction of Musala
square and in comparison with the thought, all
should be identical, like before beginning of the
construction "Tito's villa". The parc,
the walls, public underground toilet and fountain
should see the light of the day again.
In the building
of once Music school, on the ground floor a town
gallerie will be opened, and on the other floors
will be the museum of Mostar. We should soon
expect the beginning of the reconstruction of the
Travellers building. The construction of Tito's
bridge is getting further day after day, next
month the therms should be also finished. Like
our ex mayor Mujaga Komadina used to say:
"People, here is your therm bathrooms. Who
has money, should take a bath. Who doesn't, there
he was Neretva!"
