Niš Fortress
„Došla sam da snimim i pošaljem ćerki video da vidi da ništa nije izgorelo u Tvrđavi.“
“I came to film and send my daughter a video so she can see that nothing burned in the Fortress.”
Published at 14:10 — after the pre-7 a.m. clean-up (P-01) and after the investigation that found soot (P-03). The same Niš TV reported that morning that “Mediana” was working in the Fortress (P-05), and cut its live feed the previous evening (M-04).

Workers of the city utility “Mediana” “cleaned” the area early in the morning, before 7 a.m. — before the police on-site investigation. A team from the Institute for the Protection of Monuments attended the investigation. Criminal complaints announced (Dr Dragan Milić group, PODES, Kreni-Promeni).
radnici JKP Mediane su rano jutros, još pre 7 časova, efikasno „očistili“
Photos by Ljubica Jocić, “The Fortress, the day after”; eyewitnesses say the Fortress was cleaned early in the morning.
Niška policija je bila na terenu od 8 sati, a u 10 sati je uviđaj završen. Ostao je, nakon uviđaja, trag gareži na bedemu.
Published at 11:19, after the investigation, with a “Mediana” photo. A possible explanation (routine work) that the prosecution must check; it contradicts the director’s statement that they did not clean (P-04).
U Tvrđavi i Čairu ekipe će raditi na čišćenju, košenju i sakupljanju biljnog otpada.
Beta agency report: the speech was followed by fireworks and torches on the walls, which set dry grass alight. According to Beta, pro-government Niš TV cut its live broadcast without sign-off when the people who lit the flares started putting out the fire. Video S-03 is embedded.
