The July 9 edition is built around the dispute over Beograd na vodi's public return and a practical Belgrade block: daytime water faults, the detour of eight New Belgrade routes, and the planned July 10 water outage in Vracar.

Created the daily issue for 2026-07-09. Add cards as the source check progresses.
- 11:09 AM
The July 9 FULL pass added four cards: on Beograd na vodi's dividends over 12 years, today's water faults across 12 Belgrade municipalities, the detour of eight New Belgrade routes through the end of the day because of Bulevar umetnosti works, and the planned Vracar water outage for July 10. Checked N1, Danas, Kurir, Novosti, Google Trends Serbia, Beograd.rs / Beoinfo, BG Prevoz, and the 021 service cache; among trends only the Sabac shooting looked editorially usable, but for this pass it did not beat the verified city and economy items on reader value.

N1 and Danas, relaying Radar's figures, write that since the project began in 2014, Beograd na vodi has paid just over RSD 3.7bn, or just under EUR 31.7m, in dividends into Serbia's budget. Against the backdrop of a claimed 10,000 apartments sold and a record EUR 163.8m profit for 2025, the sources stress the gap between the project's scale and its public return; the state could receive about another RSD 1.55bn by the end of 2026.

N1 / Radar: Beograd na vodi paid the state only what it earns from selling 12 apartments
(Radar: Beograd na vodi državi uplatio ono što je zaradio prodajom 12 stanova, a većinski vlasnik dobio zemljište vredno milijarde evra)
Citing Radar, N1 writes that the project has already sold 10,000 apartments but only EUR 31.7m has reached the budget through dividends. The piece lists yearly payments: in 2023 there were two tranches of RSD 377.6m, then RSD 548m, RSD 866.5m, and in 2026 a record RSD 1.5497bn. The source adds that the state could receive another RSD 1.55bn by year end, while 2025 net profit reached EUR 163.8m.

Danas / Radar: over 12 years the state got from Beograd na vodi only the value of 12 apartment sales
(„Beograd na vodi“ državi za 12 godina uplatio ono što je zaradio prodajom 12 stanova)
Danas writes that since July 2014 the project has paid the state just over RSD 3.7bn, or less than EUR 31.7m, and that splitting this amount across the country's 6.5 million residents would equal roughly five euros per person. The paper adds that against total net profit of EUR 375.2m, the state has so far received less than 10% of that sum, while undistributed profit at the end of 2025 reached RSD 24.9bn, or EUR 212.2m.
