Milivoje Mihajlovic and Oliver Dulic
Mihajlovic told a press conference following a government session that Bogdanovic reiterated the stance that the referendum should not be held, adding that we must now wait for the decision of the local self-governments.
Minister of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning Oliver Dulic said that the government adopted a Decree on support measures to the construction industry through long-term approval of housing loans in 2012 for which the obligatory down payments shall be reduced from 10% to 5%.
He said the state intends to enable a more favourable purchase of flats to citizens by increasing their purchasing power and reducing interest rates, as well as to support the construction industry.
The total repayment deadline is 30 years, he observed, adding that the funds from the budget will be repaid during the last five years, while commercial banks will allow for a 25-year repayment period.
The borrower or his spouse may not have a salary higher than RSD 150,000, he said.
Users may not be older than 70 for their last repayment installment, Dulic said.
The down payment is 25% of the cost of real estate. The borrower is required to provide a minimum of 5% and the remaining 20% share will be provided in the form of long-term housing loan, said the Minister.
Dulic explained that the remaining 75% of the price will be provide by a commercial bank, to be secured by the National Corporation for Housing Loan Insurance.
The interest rates for borrowers for the part credited from the budget is 0%, while the part financed by the bank is not more than six-month EURIBOR plus 4.5% per annum.
This means that the maximum interest rate per year decreased by 0.4%, said the Minister.
State Secretary of Justice and the Serbian government's coordinator for public relations Slobodan Homen said that it is a great pity that the Prosecution of Bosnia-Herzegovina suspended investigation on the suspects for the crime in Dobrovoljacka street in Sarajevo.
The result of making such decision will be that certain people avoid criminal liability, said the State Secretary.
He reiterated that there can be no true reconciliation if those who violated the law and committed war crimes are not held accountable for their acts, and everyone in the region need to accept that.
