Municipalities initiate monument construction and restoration projects

The Ilidža Municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina has re-issued a public tender for the construction of a monument dedicated to Emir Terović Cicko. Terović, who was posthumously awarded the Zlatni ljiljan, was the youngest recipient of the honor after losing his life at age 15 while defending Sarajevo in 1992.

The estimated cost for the project is 36,188 KM excluding VAT. This follows a previous tender that was canceled due to a lack of bidders. The new procurement process is an open public tender where the selection criterion will be the lowest price, with a projected construction period of 45 days.

In Serbia, the Niš City Administration has signed a contract for the restoration and maintenance of 15 monuments across the city. The total contract value is 11.1 million dinars. A specific portion, 2.4 million dinars, is allocated for the restoration, cleaning, and repair of the Monument to the Liberators of Niš located at King Milan Square. The work includes chemical cleaning to remove biological degradation, such as lichen and moss, and the replacement of damaged stone blocks on the monument's pedestal.
