Zoran Janković announces the sorting out of Ljubljana’s infrastructure problems: in Stožice he is waiting for Rastoder, behind Bežigrad for the state
Local elections will soon be held in Slovenia, with Zoran Janković standing for a new mayoral mandate in Ljubljana. The latter has been the mayor of the Slovenian capital since 2006, during which time Ljubljana has, among other things, received a sports centre in Stožice. But it is still unfinished, and the shopping centre that was included in the original construction plan is falling into disrepair. The legendary Central Stadium behind Bežigrad, which was bought by Joc Pečečnik some time ago, also continues to be destroyed by the ravages of time, but the renovation has still not started.
Rastoder in Stožice, Pečečnik behind Bežigrad
Zoran Janković announced that if re-elected, he would try to complete the Stožice shopping centre in the next four years, as well as at least start the renovation of the stadium behind Bežigrad. However, it is a project that depends on others and not so much on the Municipality of Ljubljana. The unfinished commercial part of the Stožice stadium is owned by Izet Rastoder, former president of the
NK Olimpija Ljubljana
, the Bežigrad facility is, as we said, still in the hands of the former first man of Interblock.
Participate if the State buys it
“In my soul, I would like to see the five projects completed. I will start from north to south. The Stožice shopping area. I sincerely hope that Izet Rastoder will start work next year,” said Zoran Janković in an interview with Reporter, who also included Klemn Avbl, coach of Olimpija’s youth team, on his list, and added: “Then there’s the Plečnik Stadium. Joc Pečečnik agreed with the previous Minister of Culture, Vasko Simoniti, that it would be bought by the state. Then they didn’t do it before the elections. Now I will see what the new Culture Minister thinks. If the State buys it, we will participate in the project. The Municipality of Ljubljana does not own land in the stadium, but outside the stadium.”
For some time now, Ljubljana has also been talking about the renovation of the sports park in Spodnji Šiška, home to the football league Bravo. Not long ago, it was thought that construction work would start this year, but it increasingly seems that this will not be the case.
