Drvar Mayor Momcilo Bajic requests IC assistance in reconstruction of Drvar infrastructure – ONASA

Drvar Mayor Momcilo Bajic requested financial help from the IC for continuing the reconstruction of Drvar’s infrastructure. “It is necessary to supply resources in order to relieve social tensions” added Bajic. The return process in Drvar has practically come to a standstill because of poor living conditions, said Bajic. “First of all, because electric energy is insufficient in Drvar settlements where pre-war citizens have returned, employment has become impossible” concluded Bajic, according to ONASA.
