Citizens Protest Situation in Novi Pazar

The Pazar Initaitive for Changes, a network of citizens, NGOs, political parties, trade unions and media, organized last Wednesday, January 23, big protests in support of the employees of the JKP Cistoca (public communal enterprise), who have not received salaries for several months, under the motto Eliminate the Garbage from Novi Pazar.

The citizens expressed their huge discontent over the overall economic, social and even security situation in the municipality, brought on Novi Pazar by the current local administration led by Sulejman Ugljanin.

The security of the Municipal Building and some reporters of the Reagional Television, loyal to Ugljanin, tried to provoke an incident, but were stopped by the organizers and the Police.

The protests were held at the same time when the Municipal Assembly held a session to celebrate the status of a City recently awarded to Novi Pazar. Although the municipal authorities invited representatives of about 60 municipalities in Serbia, only a handful of them appeared.
