In the June 26 issue: Serbia is under heat warnings and a heatwave through July 2, with city public-health guidance; central Belgrade has street closures and transport changes from June 26 to 29 for the SNS rally; Beograd na vodi received a permit for a 629-apartment complex on the former BAS site; Studentski grad residents want a written guarantee for relocation from the F wing because of EXPO 2027; and the 28.71 km Adrani-Preljina section opens on the Morava Corridor.

Created the daily issue for 2026-06-26. Add cards as the source check progresses.
- 08:08 AM
The morning site-first check added three cards: the RHMZ heat warning and heatwave through July 2 with 021's local Novi Sad forecast; central Belgrade street closures and public-transport changes from June 26 to 29 for the SNS rally; and the opening of the 28.71 km Morava Corridor Adrani-Preljina section. Checked N1, Danas, Kurir, Novosti, Beoinfo, GSP Beograd, Parking servis Beograd, BVK, 021, the City of Novi Sad portal, and Google Trends RSS. Google Trends: `јавни превоз` matched the Belgrade transport card; `пензионер` produced no current concrete card in covered sources; `нато` was world/Ukraine without a Serbia angle; `sara jo` and sports queries `svetsko prvenstvo utakmice`, `curaçao vs côte d'ivoire`, `еквадор - немачка`, `ecuador vs germany`, `шејн ларкин`, `crvena zvezda - amstetten` were skipped as out of editorial scope.
- 09:06 AM
The morning follow-up added an EXPO/Studentski grad card: N1 reported that F-wing residents want a clear written relocation guarantee, not Studentski centar's phrase "subject to capacity". The SNS rally transport card was updated: N1 at 08:51 confirmed closures around parliament, the changed-line list, temporary line 41A, and tram/trolleybus cancellations from 15:00 on June 27; an attributed N1 cover was added. Rechecked N1, Danas, Kurir, Novosti, Beoinfo, GSP Beograd, Parking servis Beograd, BVK, 021, the City of Novi Sad, and Google Trends RSS; `јавни превоз` matched the already-updated transport card, `пензионер` produced no new current card in covered sources, and sports/world trends `türkiye vs usa`, `svetsko prvenstvo утакмице`, `мундијал`, `curaçao vs côte d'ivoire`, `еквадор – немачка`, `ecuador vs germany`, and `нато` were skipped as out of scope or without a Serbia angle.
- 10:06 AM
The editorial QA check for the last 48 hours compared the June 25-26 cards with their source URLs. No factual corrections were needed; in the Adrani-Preljina opening card, the Russian wording Morava Corridor was replaced with the more natural 'Moravski corridor', and the todo file gained a future note idea on the corridor, its sections, and its status as the first 'digital' motorway.
- 11:13 AM
The late-morning site-first check added a card on Beograd na vodi's permit for a complex on the former BAS site: Danas reported a June 23 decision, published on June 24, five buildings, 629 apartments, 26 business premises, 823 parking spaces, and estimated works worth 9.4 billion dinars. The heat card was updated with Belgrade City Institute for Public Health recommendations on risk groups and heatstroke symptoms. The SNS rally transport card was updated with Beoinfo's official notice, including closures, line cancellations from 15:00 on June 27, and a warning that field deviations are possible. Checked N1, Danas, Kurir, Novosti, Beoinfo, GSP Beograd, Parking servis Beograd, BVK, 021, the City of Novi Sad portal, and Google Trends RSS; `јавни превоз` matched the transport card, `ванредна ситуација` served as a signal for the heat check, `пензионер` produced no separate current card in covered sources, and sports/world queries `вашингтон`, `türkiye vs usa`, `svetsko prvenstvo утакмице`, `мундијал`, `curaçao vs côte d'ivoire`, `еквадор – немачка`, `ecuador vs germany` were skipped as out of scope.

On June 26, yellow or orange weather alerts cover much of Serbia: outlets citing RHMZ report a tropical day, very high UV index, and highs up to 36-37 °C. Danas says the heatwave is expected to last until July 2 with temperatures up to 39 °C, 021 warns Novi Sad of 38-39 °C over the weekend, and Belgrade's city public-health institute separately reminded residents about risk groups and heatstroke symptoms.

RHMZ activates orange and yellow alerts ahead of a tropical day
(RHMZ aktivirao narandžasti i žuti meteoalarm, pred nama tropski dan)
N1 reports that RHMZ warned all of Serbia about very high temperatures, with orange or yellow alerts in force across much of the country on June 26. The forecast calls for a sunny, clear day with a very high UV index and highs up to 37 °C. Because heat and dry weather raise the outdoor fire risk, RHMZ reminds people not to light fires or throw away unextinguished cigarette butts. Doctors and meteorologists advise avoiding direct sun from 11:00 to 17:00, wearing a hat, and carrying water.

A heatwave has begun in Serbia, but last June remains the most extreme
(Počeo toplotni talas u Srbiji, ipak prošli jun ostaje najekstremniji)
Danas writes that Serbia's heatwave is expected to last until July 2: highs are forecast up to 36 °C on June 26 and up to 39 °C in the following days. Meteorologist Nedeljko Todorovic says this June is warm but, on average, less hot than last June, which RHMZ assessed as Serbia's hottest and driest on record: the mean temperature was 3.2 °C above the 1990-2020 norm, and on June 26 last year daily-maximum records were exceeded at eight stations, including 40.7 °C in Cuprija and 38.1 °C in Belgrade.

City public-health institute publishes heat-protection recommendations
(Ugasite svetla, jedite češće i manje...: Gradski zavod za javno zdravlje objavio preporuke za zaštitu od vrućina)
Danas relays recommendations from Belgrade's City Institute for Public Health: a heatwave is a period of at least three consecutive days with temperatures of at least 32 °C, often with high humidity and little air movement. Risk groups include small children, older people, pregnant women, people with excess weight, chronic heart, vascular, respiratory, and diabetes conditions, and those exercising or working outdoors or in poorly cooled spaces. The institute lists risks including dehydration, thrombosis, heart attack and stroke, worsening asthma and COPD, sunburn, and skin and kidney damage; high body temperature, heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, headache, and rapid pulse are described as heatstroke signs requiring urgent medical help.

On June 26, N1 published reactions from Dom 2 residents at Studentski grad to the requirement that the F wing be vacated by April 16, 2027 for EXPO 2027. Studentski centar "Beograd" promises temporarily relocated students housing within its capacity under the same conditions, but students say the phrase "subject to capacity" is not a clear written guarantee, especially given dorm pressure and the timing of colloquiums and exams.

Students on relocation from Studenjak because of EXPO: "We want a clear guarantee, not promises"
(Studenti o premeštanju iz Studenjaka zbog EXPO-a: "Tražimo jasnu garanciju, ne obećanja”)
N1 writes that a Studentski centar "Beograd" notice requires residents of Dom II's F wing at Studentski grad to vacate places by April 16, 2027, because the block is allocated to the EXPO 2027 specialized exhibition from May 1 to August 30, 2027. Studentski centar says this is not eviction but temporary relocation of some students, and promises housing within its capacity under the same conditions. Residents Nadja Petrovic and Maja tell N1 this does not look like a guarantee: Studentski grad is a first-category dorm, dormitories are already under pressure, students wait months for transfers or places, and the move could coincide with colloquiums and exams. They also say the information appeared as the last item on page seven of the competition document rather than as a separately highlighted notice.

EXPO 2027 in Belgrade
This story follows preparations for the EXPO 2027 specialized exhibition in Belgrade: the budget, Surcin construction sites, the national stadium, infrastructure, and decisions that affect city services, schools, and residents' daily life.
- On June 26, 2026, N1 published reactions from residents of Studentski grad's F wing: they want a clear written guarantee of relocation under the same conditions, because Studentski centar's phrase "subject to capacity" leaves uncertainty over places, roommates, and a move during academic deadlines.
- On June 22, 2026, CINS published an investigation into EXPO 2027 contractors and suppliers in Surcin: the outlet did not obtain a full official list, but confirmed more than 200 firms through documents, interviews, and databases, including companies with criminal, political, or pro-government links.
- CINS examples include Makis beton, PZP Valjevo, NM Kop, C&LC Kameni agregati, CAP 1 ALCZ, and Betonjerka Cacak; Danas republished the investigation the same day in its economy section.
- On June 19, 2026, Danas reported that Vojvodina school calendars for 2026/27, like the Education Ministry calendars, require schools to plan one-day student visits to EXPO between May 17 and June 25, 2027.
- After criticism, the Education Ministry said organized EXPO visits are not mandatory school activities and can happen only by each school's decision and with parent or legal-guardian consent.
- The EXPO story is not only a construction and budget project: decisions around the exhibition are already entering school planning, the public dispute over voluntary participation, and questions about public-spending transparency.
- On June 24, N1, Danas, and 021 reported that Dom 2’s F wing at Studentski grad must be vacated by April 16, 2027: according to a Studentski centar “Beograd” notice, the block is allocated to EXPO 2027 from May 1 to August 30, 2027; Studentski centar later told N1 this is temporary relocation of some students, not eviction, and promised housing within its capacity under the same conditions.
Timeline
How the story developed
N1 published reactions from Studentski grad residents: Studentski centar promises temporarily relocated students housing under the same conditions, but students want a clear written guarantee and point to crowded dorms, exam deadlines, and the unclear phrase "subject to capacity".
Media reported a Studentski centar “Beograd” notice: residents of Dom 2’s F wing at Studentski grad must vacate rooms by April 16, 2027 because the block will be used for EXPO 2027; Studentski centar then described this as temporary relocation of some students, not eviction.
CINS published an investigation into more than 200 firms confirmed as EXPO 2027 contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers, including companies linked to people from criminal circles and people close to the authorities; Danas republished the investigation.
Danas reported that Vojvodina school calendars for 2026/27 also plan one-day student visits to EXPO from May 17 to June 25, 2027; the Education Ministry says the visits are not mandatory and require a school decision and parental consent.
