Beograd na vodi paid the state only EUR 31.7m in dividends over 12 years

Published: July 9, 2026 at 11:09 AM. Updated: July 9, 2026 at 11:09 AM.

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.

Raspberry growers call a protest in Arilje, saying 400 dinars per kilo is humiliating

Published: July 5, 2026 at 01:15 PM. Updated: July 5, 2026 at 01:15 PM.

N1, Danas, and 021 report that the Vilamet growers' association from Arilje has called a protest for Tuesday, July 7, at 12:00 outside the municipal building over a proposed raspberry purchase price of 400 dinars per kilogram. Association head Mileta Pilcevic says last year's price was 620-630 dinars and argues that producers do not understand why the new season is starting from such a drop.

At least five EU states do not back opening Cluster 3 with Serbia

Published: July 3, 2026 at 11:04 AM. Updated: July 3, 2026 at 11:04 AM.

N1 and Danas, citing RFE/RL, report that the Netherlands officially does not support opening Cluster 3 in Serbia's EU talks, while diplomatic sources say at least five member states oppose it. The main reasons are rule of law, Serbia's failure to sanction Russia, and the assessment that opening the cluster now would not be merit-based.
