Đilas: Vučić Deceived Citizens on Illegal Building Promise

Dragan Đilas, president of the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP), has accused Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić of deceiving the public about resolving the issue of 4.8 million illegal structures. Đilas stated that Vučić's promise, made in September of the previous year, to legalize these structures within 60 days has not been fulfilled.

Vučić is lying to citizens when he promised to solve the problem of 4.8 million illegal buildings.

According to Đilas, less than nine percent, or 200,000 applications, have been processed to date. He criticized Vučić for not apologizing for the "deception" that led millions to believe his promise. "Vučić, in his usual manner, lied by promising citizens that he would legalize structures by New Year, within 60 days. Not even seven months have passed since then, and he does not consider it necessary to apologize for the deception in which millions of people believed the president's promise and registered their houses and apartments," Đilas said.

The SSP had previously warned that the law "Svoj na svome" (One's Own) was being adopted to allow individuals close to the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) to easily and cheaply legalize thousands of square meters of illegally built space. Đilas demanded that a list of individuals whose cases have already been resolved be published.

The SSP warned that the law 'Svoj na svome' is being adopted so that people close to the SNS, who have built thousands of illegal squares, can easily and cheaply legalize those buildings.

"Let the names of all those whose cases have been resolved and who have more than 500 square meters be published. Let's see who truly became 'one's own' first. Were they ordinary citizens to whom Vučić promised to finish everything in 60 days, or were the objects of investors and people connected to the SNS among the first to be registered?" Đilas questioned.
