The National Employment Service has published a vacancy for the director of Novi Sad's Jovan Jovanović Zmaj Gymnasium. Parents say the document list omits an equality commissioner's certificate that no discriminatory conduct has been established against the candidate, and therefore expect the vacancy to be annulled. This is their legal assessment, not a decision already taken.
The provincial emergency headquarters has banned users from drawing water from the Danube–Tisa–Danube system in the South Bačka, North Bačka and West Bačka districts. N1 says the level at the Bezdan 2 pumping station reached −164 cm on 3 August and RHMZ expects a further fall; 021 also reports that four vessels ran aground near Bogojevo and Bezdan, with crews safe.
At Freedom Square in Novi Sad, the Women for Change activist group held eight minutes of silence for eight women killed in Serbia since the start of the year. The action followed three femicides in the previous ten days; participants called for more effective protection of women and highlighted the circulation of footage of a killing near Bor on social media.
Twenty-one months after 16 people died in the station-canopy collapse, the main trial of six defendants has yet to begin; the indictment was confirmed and house arrest extended. N1 also relays Radar's reporting on correspondence involving presidential-office staff: the correspondence is linked to indictment material, but conclusions about political responsibility remain source assessments rather than a court finding.
021 republished a Danas report based on unofficial police information: since 1 July, two hand grenades, a mortar shell and an aerial bomb have been found along the Petrovaradin bank near the fortress and Kamenički Park. The aerial bomb was neutralised; if you find a suspicious object along the low Danube, report it to police and wait for a patrol rather than handling it yourself.
On Saturday and Sunday evenings, Ciklonizacija will carry out ground mosquito treatments in Novi Sad areas on the Srem and Bačka sides. The company links the increased share of Asian tiger mosquitoes to tropical heat.
