A significant internal political conflict has emerged within the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) as its leaders are reportedly attacking Veselin Milić, the former head of Belgrade police. This development underscores growing tensions within the political landscape. Adding to the political pressure, the Bar Association is facing criticism for its silence regarding alleged government attacks on lawyer Jana Aćimović Planojević, raising concerns about the independence of the legal profession.
New allegations of illegality and harm have surfaced regarding the sale of Energoprojekt, with reports linking the project to Slaviša Kokeza and Stefan Babović, prompting questions about transparency and potential corruption. Meanwhile, firefighters have brought the Deliblatska Peščara wildfire under control, with assessments indicating seven to eight percent of the forest burned, although other blazes continue to challenge efforts on the Stolovi mountains.
Amidst these developments, a positive economic story sees a historically significant former Yugoslav company relocating its production from Zagreb, Croatia, to Gornji Milanovac, Serbia. The country is also bracing for two more heatwaves, with experts urging government action regarding outdoor work during high temperatures, and residents of Radiofar settlement are still awaiting a municipal water supply due to persistent contamination.
