SAF will settle the electricity bill of Radosavljevic family



Representatives of the Ministry of Defence of Serbia have visited the Radosavljevic family in Cacak, who claims that her account has been run up by the SAF in 1999 and promised to help pay their electricity bill.

The family claims that her account of the Serbian Army was run up during the NATO bombing, when she used her house. The main debt from 1040 RSD rose with the interest rate up to 70,000 RSD.

At the end of January Radosavljeviccs managed to reduce the debt down to 50,000 RSD, as Milica Radosavljevic who lives in that house with her husband, daughter and two grandchildren, and unemployed told the reporters.

Head of Public Relations of the Ministry of Defence, Colonel Milivoje Pajovic, who visited the family Radosavljevic said that the Ministry by looking into the documentation SAF had determined that the main electricity bill for 1999 when the army used the house of the Radosavljevic family had been settled.

However, he said that the Ministry would help the family in paying the electricity bill because SAF have not forgotten their patriotism and support for the Army.

"Once we get the remaining accounts, we will find a solution to settle the current debt, because the Radosavljevic family are our friends who have shown a patriotic gesture when our soldiers were stationed there1999, although according to our records this debt for electricity has been settled" said Pajovic to reporters.

The Radosavljevic family informed the journalists that the Serbian electricity company was threatening to disconnect their power supply due to a 50,000 RSD worth of debt incurred by the Serbian Army, which during the NATO bombing used their house on Ljubica Summit near Cacak for radar defense of the city.
