Material situation and unemployment cause residential problems. Migrations that happened in the last decade of twentieth century brought about 500,000 refugees from different areas of ex-Yugoslavia to territory of Republic of Serbia. Most of them are settled down either around or in large cities in hope to find in them possibilities for better life. In the same period, large number of people from inland Serbia decided (from same reasons) to find happiness in big cities, which are regionals or states centers. This drove to paradox, that in inland Serbia some villages and some cities were half empty, without citizens or with older population, while in suburbs of big cities half illegal or illegal colonies were growing up, without communal infrastructure or without primary prerequisites for living. Families of the perished warriors and invalids of war, who were coming in large number from the poorest layers of society, were found in specially hard position. On this field, state maybe done the most and is doing the most, because the program of building flats for war veterans, families of the perished warriors, and invalids of war is in progress on the whole territory of Serbia. Project sponsor is Government of Japan. An illustration and information can be the the fact that the major of Belgrade, Nenad Bogdanovic, and Minister Assistant for work, employment and social politics, Bozidar Simatkovic signed the Contract about realization of project “Social residential for invalids of war and families of the perished”. This project will be realized using Japan Government donations of 322 million dinars, which were approved three years ago. With this money, which Government of Republic of Serbia disposes, instead of anticipated 300 flats, only 206 flats will be built in Kikinda, Smederevo, Nis, Novi Sad, Pancevo, Kragujevac, Indjija, Loznica, Kraljevo, Leskovac and Belgrade. Building of 50 flats, in Belgrade community Kamendin, for invalids of war and families of the perished from the wars after 1990, is anticipated by this project. ![]() |
