Serbia's National Assembly has convened an extraordinary session to address key national issues, including an energy crisis, a rebalancing of the national budget, and proposed changes to laws concerning judges, expropriation, and the 'Belgrade Waterfront' project. This legislative activity signals a focused effort to tackle economic and developmental challenges.
Meanwhile, there are mixed developments regarding the ongoing wildfires. The situation in Deliblatska Peščara is reported to be calmer and more stable, with international aid, including assistance from Germany, now arriving to help combat the blazes. However, strong winds and dense smoke continue to complicate firefighting efforts on the Stolovi mountains near Kraljevo.
In other domestic news, a report highlights the alarming statistic of nearly two motorcycle fatalities per week in the country, prompting discussions among experts about causes and potential solutions. Political discussions continue with opposition figure Marinika Tepić responding to President Aleksandar Vučić and questioning government spending on firefighting resources.
