Vuk Iković, a member of the Preokret movement in Danilovgrad, warned that the local authorities in that municipality plan to increase the price of water by over 50 percent on Monday.
"If the majority of councilors vote in favor of this decision, 10 cubic meters of water will cost almost 10 euros, instead of the current 6.3 euros, which will have a negative impact on the household budget. There is no legal and economic justification for increasing the price of water in Danilovgrad, that's why Preokret will be against these decisions," he said in a statement delivered to the media
Iković reminded that the Protector of Human Rights announced 10 days ago that the existing price of water is unfounded and discriminatory.
"Until now, this unfoundedness has applied to households in the city center, and if this decision is voted on Monday, almost all households in Danilovgrad will be discriminated against. The water supply already does not provide the citizens with regular, safe water, that is, it does not provide the basic conditions for life, which is why the citizens feel increasingly insecure in his home. For this reason, Vodovod should compensate the citizens for all the losses and damages, and only then consider increasing the price of water," said Preokret councilor.
He pointed out that many settlements are often without water for several days, as well as the city center itself.
"That was the case this summer as well, and for over 10 days, the water disappeared for several hours or during the whole day in the city itself.
The citizens were not informed and could not express their position, so voting on such a decision would be an escape from the truth and responsibility. I invite citizens to ask their councilors to work for them and to express their dissatisfaction freely," concluded Iković.
