10.06.2011
President of City Municipality of Palilula Prof. Dr Igor Novakovic visited residents of Mramor, who because of increased activity of landslide and not solving of made promises about rehabilitation of natural disasters, blocked regional road Nis – Prokuplje. In conversation with organizers of the strike, President Novakovic informed the participants with activities which management of Palilula Municipality realize in cooperation with the city, on the solving of this problem and asked them to stop with blockade.

“From this problem can not escape. I am here with you to solve problem together, which it is not only yours. For solving of this natural disaster – result of landslide in Mramor and Krusce, I expect that Government of Serbia, as and in similar situation, offer a specific solution. Earlier agreements that were achieved in Ministry for Infrastructure and Energetics, because of delegated powers to other Ministry, after reconstruction of the Government, and refers to Ministry of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning, must be solved quicker in new Ministry. Here was done and fraud because the same elaborate about reviewing the situation of landslide was paid two times. No one has field a criminal complaint to the responsible person. Palilula Municipality will continue to strive that City of Nis with assistance of line ministries to help the most vulnerable residents who are affected by natural disaster,  and who don’t have solved housing. I know that this it is not permanent solution, said to the gathered citizens President Novakovic, but I expect that this problem we solve together. About new situation on the ground I will inform all authorities and I will ask for emergency assistance.

Solving of the housing of the persons affected with landslide on the territory Mramor – Krusce, to which City of Nis and City Municipality of Palilula want to provide steadily, regular and appropriate financing of housing was one of the priorities of management in last three years. In 2010th was provided funds from Ministry for Human and Minority Rights, Public Administration and Local Self Government, for payment for one year lease of apartments for 15 (fifteen) families which did not had solved housing, until building the new houses, or permanent solution of their housing status.
