Željko Mitrović, the owner of PINK, is building a castle on Dedinja of more than 6,000 square meters, with a total value of more than 10 million euros. The Secretariat for Urban Planning and Construction Affairs of the City of Belgrade allowed the owner of Pink to carry out works on the plot under the protection of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments without the obligation to ask for permits from the Institute and to erect a monumental building on that site using a problematic calculation which otherwise allows investors to build thousands of square meters more than it should according to the current plan. Ksenija Radovanović, an architect and urban planner from the organization "New planning practice" told BIRN that she is not sure that she would be able to get the same conditions from the state as Mitrović. The secretariat did not answer BIRN's questions about this palace, and Mitrović says that the building was built in accordance with all the conditions set for it, that the building on Dedinje is his endowment, and that "nothing has been moved even a millimeter compared to the permit. ” Authors: Radmilo Marković, Nataša Pantić, Aleksandar Đorđević and Dragan Gmizić Narrators: Jelena Veljković and Aleksa Tešić
