**General Staff Building in Belgrade on EU’s Endangered List**
The General Staff complex in central Belgrade has been named one of the 7 most endangered heritage sites in Europe by Europa Nostra and the European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute.
This program was started in 2013 to save Europe’s at-risk cultural treasures. Each site listed gets €10,000 to help with preservation efforts.
The General Staff complex is a significant modernist building in Serbia designed by Nikola Dobrovic between 1953 and 1964. It suffered damage during NATO airstrikes in 1999.

The General Staff complex was nominated by Europa Nostra Serbia with support from 22 organizations and academic institutions.
