28. July 2020.

Bujanovac - Nagip Arifi officially took over the duty of the president of the municipality of Bujanovac on Monday, since he received 25 votes of councilors at the session of the Municipal Assembly on Wednesday.

Arifi, for whom this is the 4th term, said that the rebalance of the municipal budget would be a priority in the coming days, so that salaries could be given to employees.

"The municipal account is blocked by 4.5 million by the Saba Belca company for asphalting the road in Veliki Trnovac, and we will solve that problem next week," Arifi said.

He announced the tightening of discipline for municipal administration workers.

"Until now, working hours started at 10 am, and now they will have to come to work at 7 am sharp," Mr. Arifi announced.

He also spoke about the inclusion of the Serbian parties in power, and when asked by journalists from Bujanovac which of the two Serbian parties he was refereeing to, Mr. Arifi said:

“I do not want to prejudge, it also depends on our partners, but the one who won more mandates has the advantage ", said the Mayor and reiterated that there was an option in the agreement of the Albanian parties to include Serbian parties in power:.

"We will discuss this with political representatives of the Serbs, but also with our coalition partners," Mr. Arifi explained.

The ruling coalition was formed by 4 Albanian parties after the June 21 election.

Of the Serbian parties, the coalition around the SPP won 10 seats, as many as Arifi’s DP has, while the SPS won three councilor seats.
