摘要:The Parliament building, one of the Belgrade most monumental structures has been for rather long time out of the reach of interest of academic public. It has been declared as cultural monument in 1984 but on that occasion it has been only partially studied. Much later National Museum investigated the collection of paintings in the Federal Parliament, which at that time included 154 works as well as sculptures that were there. In the events of October 5th 2000 the building suffered heavy destruction. It was the pretext to study this valuable edifice in details and to restore all previously lost monumental values, that is to restore it in its original form from 1936. As this works are still in progress the author points to investigation results achieved so far and directions of future search as well as to concepts of restoration of the Federal Parliament building. First project for construction of the Parliament of Kingdom of Serbia at this location had been made by acknowledged Serbian architect Konstantin Jovanović in 1892 but this project had not been realized. New project, similar to the former and according to which the building was constructed was the work of architect Jovan Ilkić. Foundation stone was laid by king Petar I in August 1907. The construction works were interrupted during First World War and were resumed in 1920 and continued until 1926 but the works have not been completed. Interior decoration including furniture making was finished during 1936-36 after the project of architect Nikola Krasnov. The new Parliament building has been formally opened on October 19th 1936. Special attention has been paid to artistic decoration. Particularly distinguished are about twenty sculptures, works of well-known Yugoslav sculptors T. Rosandić, P. Palavičini, V. Radauč, F. Kršinić, R. Stijović, T. Kos and others. In addition to stained glass windows and frescoes that adorn some of Parliament rooms at the same time started the establishing of paintings collection. Many works in this collection date from the period after 1945. Unfortunately more than 60 paintings from this collection perished in conflagration or disappeared in October 2000. The remaining paintings (about 90) that were heavily damaged are almost all restored until today. Mentioned damage was the reason to get down to fundamental reconstruction of the Parliament building. All projects, most of which have already been accomplished, have been made on the basis of original documentation collected in the Yugoslav Archive. In the restoration approach one of basic determinations was equal representation of all the epochs of parliament life of this building. For that reason one special project is intended to restitution of symbols and memorabilia from the period of Parliament construction (Kingdom of Yugoslavia) as well as from the period just passed (SFRY). This concerns also redecoration of rooms-offices and clubs of representatives as well as parliament halls with restored furnishings. Parliament building with its rich cultural heritage when it is completely restored will reflect continuity of parliamentarism and the state it serves. For the first time this building will be open for general public that is entitled to see and experience not only monumental values but also the milieu where crucial decisions for life and future of the country are made.
