Film director: I have permission to take stone The protesters claim that the famous film director is demolishing the century-old fortress. Kusturica said that his crew had only taken stone blocks that had been scattered around the fortress and had been overgrown with grass for the needs of Andricgrad that will also be used a film set. “We had a verbal permission of Trebinje Mayor Dobroslav Cuk,“ he stressed. Kusturica got a permission to demolish several old structures in Trebinje and Herzegovina in order to use the stone for the construction of Andricgrad, but they mostly included old and abandoned houses and barns. He claims that he knows where the accusations that he is destroying Bosnia-Herzegovina's cultural heritage are coming from and that “those people are obsessively following his every step”. “Andricgrad will be a place of peace and prosperity, a place where people will trade and exchange ideas, where the Ottoman Empire and Byzantine will meet, neoclassicism and the renaissance,” he explained.
