Works in Spaç, Lubonja: Destruction of collective and historical memory

Analyst Fatos Lubonja has considered the reconstruction being carried out in the ruined buildings of the former Spaç prison to be a destruction of collective and historical memory.

Speaking to News24, the analyst said that there should be a museum of the past there and not be destroyed to make a film. 

Fatos Lubonja : I was exposed to the destruction of Spaç early on and the white color struck me first. Part of the camp had been destroyed and instead of the barracks where we were transferred in 1983, I saw a plastic office-like thing, a Canadian company had come to invest in the Spaç mine. There is a big factory there now, some Turks, which destroys all that landscape that should have been preserved, the place of suffering of the prisoners. It was supposed to be a peaceful place.

Trucks pass by that take out the material. It's always a suffering. Now it's a different kind. Destruction by breaking is one thing, now they do reconstruction by destroying historical events, traces left by time. Not just the communist period. It's a bad feeling, of the destruction of memory. Here they talked about a film. I don't feel angry, but I would argue why what they wanted to do shouldn't be done.
