Beoinfo and GSP warn that from June 23 to 29, because of works on Patrijarha Joanikija Street in Rakovica, public transport will use changed routes. Routes 23, 53, 89, ADA1, 56N, and E2 will run via Vidikovacki venac, the route 504 alignment, and Kneza Viseslava, while 59 and 534 will use Vidikovacki venac, route 504, and Pilota Mihaila Petrovica; existing stops are used on the changed section.
On the morning of June 22, Danas and Novosti, citing emergency services, reported that a boy on a bicycle was seriously injured at the corner of Bulevar kralja Aleksandra and Ulica Svetozara Markovića; N1 later added a note to its initial agency item saying GSP told other media the crash was caused by a car, not a tram. All three sources also report an overnight fight in Novi Beograd in which two young men were seriously injured.
Citing asset declarations filed with the Anti-Corruption Agency, Danas writes that only one of 15 acting directors of Belgrade public utility companies earns less than Aleksandar Vucic's presidential salary of 253,656.20 dinars. The highest monthly income listed is for Vladan Djukic of JKP Pogrebne usluge: 523,000 dinars including salary and a military pension.
After a filing from Veselin Milic's defense lawyer, prosecutors ordered the Second Basic Prosecutor's Office to identify unknown persons who allegedly threatened him in Belgrade district jail. The prison administration told N1/Danas it strictly follows safety procedures for all detainees, while Danas recalls that on June 12 the court extended Milic's custody until July 12 in the failure-to-report-a-crime-and-perpetrator branch.
Nikola Nikodijevic told N1 that the Belgrade Assembly will discuss another budget rebalance on June 25 after 9 billion dinars in additional revenue appeared. He also said a full closure of Bulevar despota Stefana for metro works, from Cvijiceva to Pancevacki most, will be announced in advance and could last about seven months.
Beoinfo published two service changes: route 71 changes in New Belgrade from June 21 to 26 because of works on Bulevar umetnosti, while route 3A changes near Ada Bridge and Bulevar vojvode Misica from June 22 to September 1. The Careva cuprija stop toward Knezevac will not operate for route 3A.
