He explains his assessment by the fact that the Tower was sold for a higher price than the starting price, and to this day the highest price at the first auction, as well as the fact that the state has not yet announced whether it will use the right of first refusal and buy back the part of the Tower that was just sold from Aleksandar Kajmaković, that is, from his company Eureka bar, which auctioned the highest price today Let us explain.

The third auction of part of the Genex tower was held today It took place very violently, with the displeasure of those present, among whom the most prominent was MP and environmental activist Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta, but in the end it was successfully completed.

Successful, in the sense that the auction was completed, that the Tower was sold Seven buyers bid, and the winner was the aforementioned Aleksandar Kajmaković, who offered 2.

4 billion dinars, or slightly more than 20 million euros Unofficially, other interested buyers were NR Development, Singidunum University, Zvonko Gobeljić, Tardycon Holding Limited, Summers, and Exeone.

Today's Initial Price Was 834 6 Million Dinars

28 business premises with an area of ​​14,943 square meters are offered for sale, while the areas between the 27th and 37th floors have an area of ​​more than 1,450 square meters The sales unit also includes a garage with a total area of ​​9,023 square meters, as well as ten garages with an area of ​​6,445 square meters.

The starting price of the second offer, announced in July, was 1 46 billion dinars, while in May the price was two billion dinars.

Both auctions were unsuccessful because no one was interested in buying the Tower at the offered prices "Today, however, it was not too much for Alerksandr Kajmaković to pay a higher price than the price that was set for the first auction", indicates Božidar Stavrić.

Božidar Stavrić says that the first offered amount below this was about 900 million dinars The state, which has the right of first refusal, did not bid today, "which does not mean that it will not later invoke its right to buy Genex from Kajmaković", Stavrić expects, "of course at the price he bid today".

He assumes that the state has a justification for not using the opportunity to spend only as much as was requested at the initial price He adds that the state has never responded to the calls of the Tenants' Assembly, so it is not known how they evaluate their proposals to turn Genex into a student dormitory or a cultural and scientific space.
