Breaking: those responsible for the censorship

According to latest reports (Vest, #3593, 16/17 June, 2012), the City of Skopje rejects any responsibility linked with the vandal act of destruction of the artwork of OPA, which was part of Ars Acta’s project within the Skopje Kreativa Festival. According to the mayor, responsibility should be requested from the festival’s manager, Mr. Miodrag Kostik.

KOOPERACIJA pledges to follow the development of the process inquiring official statements by those responsible for such destruction of public artwork and intellectual property.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the recent brutal act of censorship upon the artwork of OPA, which was part of the Skopje Kreativa Festival and organized by the City of Skopje, KOOPERACIJA publicly condemns the incompetence of the organizers who allowed the reactions of certain citizens and the Macedonian Orthodox Church to affect the decision to destroy this work deliberately, even though it was the property of the City and thus, the people of Macedonia.

Not only does this violent act directly disregard all basic standards and principles for the protection of Human Rights for freedom of expression and free speech, but presents an attack upon the core values of the country’s democracy.

The artists who revolve within KOOPERACIJA are completely disgusted by this unprincipled stance of the City of Skopje and express their utmost regret and disappointment of the fact that this institution has failed to show capability in protecting these valuable civil rights.
