Nikodijevic: Belgrade budget rebalance on Thursday because a surplus appeared in the city treasury
N1 reports Belgrade Assembly president Nikola Nikodijevic's statement: the June 25 session will again include a budget rebalance because the city collected 9 billion dinars more than planned in the previous rebalance. Nikodijevic says social benefits and city services will remain unchanged and investments will continue; utility-company profits, he argues, should improve services or flow into the city budget. He asked residents to report faulty air conditioning in public transport so GSP and private operators can be fined if they breach contracts. On the metro, he said the exact date for fully closing Bulevar despota Stefana is still unknown because EPS high-voltage cables and Interior Ministry infrastructure must be moved, but once the boring machines start, traffic from Cvijiceva to Pancevacki most will be fully closed for about seven months, with alternative routes announced in advance; works on Bulevar patrijarha Pavla are planned to finish by December.
