Leader of the Civic Initiative Freedom, Democracy, Justice (GI SDP) Oliver Ivanovic and a former mayor of Zvecan municipality, Dragisa Milovic announced yesterday at the press conference they will participate in the local elections in the four northern municipalities, and urged responsible institutions to resolve the cases of burning down their vehicles.
