Nis – Due to the recent events in the National Assembly of Serbia, when Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic spoke with the MPs, and the enormous debts of the population in the southern Serbian municipalities for unpaid electricity, a delegation consisting of members of the Electric Power Industry of Serbia and the electric power company “Jugoistok Nis“is today paying a visit to Bujanovac.  The reason for the visit to Bujanovac, Presevo and Vranje has to do with the unpaid electricity bills.

Belgrade - Responding to a question of a representative of the Albanian minority in the Serbian parliament Saip Kamberi relating to when the students from the first to the fourth grade of primary school in that community would receive free textbooks in Albanian, the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said that the textbooks would reach them by September 1: 

“You're absolutely right, since such problems existed in the past, too. There are also problems with textbooks in the Bulgarian and Croatian languages and we shall do our best to resolve them before September 1. The state shall meet all of its obligations towards all of its citizens, but we expect that you yourself and everyone else in Bujanovac, Presevo and Medvedja fulfill your obligations towards the state and begin paying your bills regularly, as Serbia has the right to collect what belongs to it“, said Prime Minister Vucic.

Medvedja - The Mayor of Medvedja Slobodan Draskovic said that the majority of the population in the municipality had got electricity in the afternoon and that water from a dozen flooded homes had been pulled out of them.
