Regional utility crises reported in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia

water shortages infrastructure failure heatwave utility services public health

Various regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia are facing significant utility and infrastructure challenges. In the Banja Luka suburb of Rekavice, residents in Lakići, Blagojevići, and Bojanići have been without water for ten days due to a pipeline failure. Residents report that the main valve was closed to address the fault, but no repairs have been completed, causing distress during high temperatures.

In Zrenjanin, Serbia, citizens are struggling with water shortages, frequent pipe bursts, and an aging asbestos network. Local reports indicate that while the city's water utility company is performing pipe replacement work in other cities, Zrenjanin continues to face nighttime water outages and concerns over water quality.

In Niš, Serbia, the Gerontological Center is requesting donations for new air conditioning units after residents reported that existing units are broken, making the heat difficult for elderly users. Additionally, in Gornja Toponica, residents have met with the Mayor of Niš to demand improvements to the sewage system, river cleaning, and road safety.
