On June 29 and 30, most of Serbia is expected to see the heatwave peak: Danas and Novosti, citing RHMZ, report highs of 36-39 C, while N1 reports 36-40 C and about 39 C in Belgrade. AMSS, via N1, advises drivers not to travel in the hottest part of the day; 021 says Novi Sad will see 22-39 C, UV index 8, and a recommendation to avoid sun from 10:00 to 16:00. N1 also separately explains worker rights: for outdoor work above 36 C, an employer must provide water, shade or a cooled break space, a trained first-aid employee, and appropriate clothing.

Working in extreme temperatures: what rights workers have
(Rad na ekstremnim temperaturama - koja su prava radnika)
Labor-law specialist Olga Vuckovic Kicanovic told N1 that there is no separate legal basis for mandatory work from home because of extreme heat: it remains an employer's decision. For outdoor work above 36 C, an employer must provide water, shade or a cooled break area, a trained first-aid employee, and appropriate clothing. She noted that until two years ago the Labor Ministry issued recommendations for outdoor work, but no longer does so; compliance, she said, is a matter for inspection.

A debacle in IT classes: what the first secondary-school enrollment results show
(Debakl u IT odeljenjima: Šta pokazuju prvi rezultati upisa u srednje škole?)
Danas writes that first-round allocation again showed that classes for talented pupils and pupils with special abilities were opened too lightly. Aleksandar Markov of Edu Forum told Danas that almost all gymnasiums had vacancies in IT tracks: Prva beogradska gimnazija had 12 empty places, Zemunska gimnazija enrolled only 5 of 20, and Gimnazija "Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj" in Novi Sad left 46 of 60 IT places empty. According to Danas, only Treca and Deveta gimnazija in Belgrade and Krusevacka gimnazija filled their quotas among 38 gymnasiums with IT profiles; Prva kragujevacka gimnazija left 29 of 40 places empty, and no pupil was assigned to the IT class at Gimnazija "Bora Stankovic" in Vranje.
