(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 21 SET - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said that Marshal Tito's grave will not be removed from the 'House of Flowers' in Belgrade, the memorial part of the Historical Museum of Yugoslavia on the Green Hill in Dedinje. Belgrade Mayor Aleksandar Sapic has been speaking about the possible removal of Tito's grave in recent days.
    "This will not happen. I have never been a big fan of communists and the communist regime. Still, Josip Broz Tito is part of our history; he lived here and is buried here, and he will remain part of Serbian and Yugoslav history," Vucic said in an interview with Politico. First to criticize the capital's mayor's intention was Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin, a controversial politician known for his heated national-patriotic and pro-Russian stances. "Serbia is not Ukraine or Lithuania destroying monuments to anti-fascists, erasing everything that was there before the generation now in government," Vulin had said. (ANSA).
