Dino Konaković commented on water reductions in Sarajevo

- Reduction problems in Sarajevo last more than 10 years. These days we are also witnessed that due to the high heat sources of the sources around Sarajevo are not at a level that would satisfy the needs of the population and tourists. These two circumstances are certainly objective, Prime Minister of the Sarajevo Canton Elmedin Dino Konaković

Citizens of Sarajevo have been struggling with water shortages for hours, and recently the company Vodovod i kanalizacija has informed the public that the reductions will be more frequent, which caused a storm of negative comments, especially as it happens during times of unhealthy heat with the temperatures reaching and Up to 42 degrees.

"On the other hand, before the management of the ViK, we were tasked with the tasks that, in the two years that I was leading the government, should deliver results," Konakovic said.

He stressed that they asked the Government to settle with illegal consumers and to exclude and sanction large hotels, restaurants, carpets, whose accounts are smaller than the account of four-member families.

Also, as he pointed out, last year, only three teams for the elimination of failures were operating in the field, there were no flow meters in the company.

"There were no excavators, there were no physical workers, and cars were bought and people employed in the administration.
We had some understanding for some circumstances, and because of these others, we asked that the KS Assembly overturn the report of this company so that we could introduce new people who understand the gravity of this problem, "said the Prime Minister of Sarajevo.

He also stated that now there is a new assembly of companies in which party people are not sitting.

"We will do the same with the supervisory board and the management. We need expert people to solve this problem, and it is true that the pressure to do this is done personally," he stressed.

He also commented on how he realized that citizens, as the first culprit, saw the government and the prime minister and not to escape responsibility.

"I'm sorry that in this chain of decision-making, we can not do anything but public criticism. We had to wait for the report in the Assembly to fall and open a space for the reactions of the Government. If it were not so, long ago we would have replaced and introduced new people" , Konakovic told us.

Recall, ViK two days ago informed the public that the time of water reduction will begin earlier than before.

"With the arrival of these exceptionally warm days, which directly influenced the reduction of springs at the springs, and the increase in consumer spending, the night time from 24:00 to 5 hours is insufficient to fill the reservoirs completely. In the coming days, according to weather conditions, In some zones, the movement of the term will be carried out for a period from 23 to 6 in the morning. With this regime we are trying to supplement the reservoirs in order to ensure a regular daily water supply, "it was written in a notice.
