Prime Minister Milojko Spajić pledged full state support for capital projects, noting record-breaking tourism results in both winter and summer seasons. He emphasized that infrastructure improvements, including highway construction and road reconstructions, are essential for connecting local centers to tourist zones and resolving long-standing traffic issues.
