However, when construction of this road started, the only Serb representative in Prishtinë/Pristina municipal assembly and the Mayor denied that voting in favour of the budget was awarded to Srpska List with construction of this road.
“All the issues raised are related to public interest and we consider them citizens of the municipality of Prishtinë/Pristina. To me, it has no relevance if one is called Nenad, or any other name that a citizen might have, as long as the requests are legitimate,” Prishtinë/Pristina mayor Shpend Ahmeti stated.
“Construction of this road serves to both Serbs and Albanians; therefore it has nothing to do with the mayor or the voting, or anything else. I thank them, and this is not a political issue, but something that brings good to citizens,” the Srpska List municipal councillor Nenad Miladinovic underlined.
