ELECTRICITY MARKED THE BEGINNING OF MOVING IN NEW HOMES

08.05.2009.

In `Zelena ulica`, Novo Selo village happiness finally came. Ten years after NATO bombing of Nis, that made the families in Medosevac (part of Nis) homeless, people who wanted to have new homes instead of repaired old ones, finally, after many years, got new homes. With special thankfulness to the initiative of Palilula Municipality where this settlement is situated, and Nis City authorities, after one year- the time when six new houses were built, got electricity. Moving in was finally provided for the families.

Biljana Jovanovic, member of City council and Zorica Stoiljkovic councilor of Palilula Municipality visited Novo Selo where newly built objects are situated. After many efforts and struggles that these people had had the last decade, the family of one of them - Desimir Blagojevic did not hide their satisfaction. The family specially thanked Nis City authorities and Palilula authorities of having provided necessary life conditions in their new homes. `It was simply inadmissible to prevent these people, that had been left without their homes before, from moving into new homes because there was no electricity`.- B. Jovanovic said. In the agreement with the authorized enterprises, the mayor and his associates took over the responsibility to provide these living- normal- life conditions for the families who lost their homes in NATO bombing. In future all the problems should be solved due to agreed dynamics and synchronized work added  Biljana Jovanovic, City councilor.

Families from Medosevac have protested since 2000. Two years ago Desimir Blagojevic, a demonstrator, even wanted to commit suicide. This protest continued and lasted more than a month and a few times City authorities warned the demonstrators that their protest was politically motivated. Up to now, these families from Medosevac have lived in temporary accommodation-building in Palih boraca Street in Pantelej.
