N1: GSP workers have a meeting with Vucic today on the future of city transport

N1 reports that representatives of GSP workers are gathering near Andricev venac at 10:30 and are due to meet Aleksandar Vucic at 11:00; in Ivan Bankovic's telling, the meeting should not be merely protocol because the future structure of city transport is at stake. The article repeats the demands submitted on June 24: stop the PPP tender, keep four central trolleybus lines out of private hands, buy at least 90 trolleybuses and 300 buses, and provide state guarantees against further line transfers to private operators. N1 also notes that the cabinet had earlier asked manufacturers and importers for data on prices, delivery times, technical specifications, and infrastructure.

Overall takeaway

This is not just a procurement dispute but a new decision point on whether Belgrade keeps key trolleybus lines inside GSP or continues shifting the network to private operators.

What this means for residents

For passengers

The dispute affects the future structure of Belgrade transport: trolleybuses, buses, and the share of private operators in the city network.

No outcome yet

N1's report describes the start of negotiations, not a decision: by check time, neither the tender's fate nor new purchases had been announced.
