He added that Zrenjanin City will reduce the heating price if the gas price is kept at the present level, so that citizens can get cheaper heating than last year.
Speaking about the reconstruction, Aleksandar Starčević also pointed out that it was the continuation of KfW programme and that works in that street should be finished by 20 July.
- After that Bagljaš sections going to be reconstructed and then we will have a such more efficient system and referring to this a new regulation is expected from the Government defining the heating price list for cities. The regulation will clarify all ambiguities - said Starčević, adding that all the works will have be finished by the beginning of the heating season.
