Kai 1995-tais vie\u0161in\u010diam brit\u0173 premjerui D\u017eonui Meid\u017eorui (John Major) Adolfas \u0160le\u017eevi\u010dius pasak\u0117, kad u\u017e 20 km nuo Vilniaus geografai nustat\u0117 \u017eemyno geografin\u012f centr\u0105, tas net pa\u0161oko: \u201eO a\u0161 maniau, kad Europos centras – Anglijoje”. Brit\u0173 sve\u010dias b\u016bt\u0173 dar labiau \u012fsi\u017eeid\u0119s, jei b\u016bt\u0173 \u017einoj\u0119s, kad t\u0105 centr\u0105 atrado… pranc\u016bz\u0173 geografai.<\/p>\n

2004 metais Lietuvai ruo\u0161iantis stoti \u012f ES, Europos centr\u0105 kaip v\u0117liav\u0105 i\u0161k\u0117l\u0117 Algirdas Brazauskas. Vyriausyb\u0117 paskelb\u0117 konkurs\u0105 jo projektui. Tauta prisi\u016bl\u0117 visoki\u0173 fantazij\u0173, i\u0161 kuri\u0173 labiausiai \u012fsimin\u0117 mil\u017eini\u0161ka bur\u0117. Ji grasinosi i\u0161p\u016bsti nema\u017e\u0105 sum\u0105 biud\u017eeto pinig\u0173. Tada A. Brazauskas i\u0161sikviet\u0117 mane su Algirdu Vap\u0161iu (globojusius projekt\u0105) ir pasak\u0117: \u201eKonkurs\u0105 reikia at\u0161aukti. Europin\u0117s civilizacijos i\u0161radimas – kolona. Pastatysime toje vietoje kolon\u0105.”<\/p>\n

Pasi\u016bl\u0117m duoti valstybin\u012f u\u017esakym\u0105 skulptoriui Gediminui Jok\u016bboniui. Jau pirmame apsilankyme skulptorius ant ilgo premjero stalo nupie\u0161\u0117 monumento form\u0105. \u012eki\u0161au trigra\u0161\u012f, pasi\u016bl\u0119s u\u017ed\u0117ti kar\u016bn\u0105 i\u0161 aukso \u017evaig\u017ed\u017ei\u0173. Beje, i\u0161kalti kolon\u0105 Jok\u016bboniui pad\u0117jo Suomijos meistrai. Tokios spartos dar niekas nemat\u0117. Visa kita u\u017ebaig\u0117 kra\u0161tovaizd\u017eio architektas Alvydas Mituzas.<\/p>\n

2004-\u0173j\u0173 gegu\u017e\u0117s 1-\u0105j\u0105, Lietuvos stojimo \u012f Europos S\u0105jungos dien\u0105, ant kalvos su Europos v\u0117liavomis prezidentas pasodino \u0105\u017euoliuk\u0105. Prie Vilniaus atsirado ta\u0161kas smalsiems turistams, \u010dia pat \u0161tampavusiems savo pasus specialiu Europos centro antspaudu, u\u017esienio spaudoje – daug straipsni\u0173.<\/p>\n

Kod\u0117l visa tai pasakoju? Ogi tod\u0117l, kad viso to gali nelikti. Panaikinus apskritis, perdavus Centr\u0105 \u012f Vilniaus rajono rankas, pasikeit\u0117 ir projekto tikslai, ir i\u0161laikymo galimyb\u0117s. Neatlaik\u0117 medinis tiltas p\u0117stiesiems per tvenkin\u012f. Net Utenos keliu va\u017eiuojantys i\u0161 Vilniaus gali Europos centro ir nerasti. Naujas kelias suprojektuotas taip, kad priva\u017eiavus Centr\u0105 reikia va\u017eiuoti apie 5 km, kol pasieksi nuva\u017eiavim\u0105… kitoje kelio pus\u0117je (be abejo, tok\u012f manevr\u0105 padarys tik gerai \u017einantis). Juolab ir nuva\u017eiavimas dar ne\u012frengtas.<\/p>\n

Valstyb\u0117 \u012f likimo dovanot\u0105 \u017eemyno centr\u0105 investavo milijonus. \u010cia kastuvu mosikavo A.Brazauskas, dvirat\u012f myn\u0117 Andrius Kubilius. Dabar jau tarsi ma\u017eai kam \u012fdomu. Vis d\u0117lto gal neu\u017emesim kaip niekam nereikalingo paveldo…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1 nuotr. Vilius Kavaliauskas.
