Joksimovic said that these families moved into new flats in a building for social housing in Obrenovac, for whose construction the EU allocated more than €800,000.
She said that the building with 32 apartments was built for 15 families that had lived in barracks owned by the company "Termoelektro" since May 2014, as well as 17 families that lived in collective centres in the Hotel Obrenovac and military barracks.
None of these 32 beneficiary families has own apartment, Joksimovic pointed out, noting that they belong to the most vulnerable category of the population.
According to her, Obrenovac is today a lively city, which looks even more beautiful, and 32 families finally moved into apartments that were made according to all standards, and where they can have a better future.
