Life under a canopy

Disrespect for the law and high level of corruption in Serbia are rapidly taking an even greater toll. Let's list some cases: part of the ceiling at the Cardiology Clinic in Niš fell, and the ceiling at the Railway Station in Ćuprija also rattled. Previously, a pedestrian crossing bridge near the village of Vlahovo collapsed and a part of the wall at the school in Pećinci collapsed (two girls were slightly injured). There are also collapses of the concrete structure of the overpass on the high-speed Požarevac-Veliko Gradište highway, ceiling collapses at a school in Užice, in Saranov near Rača, at the Institute for Public Health in Kragujevac and at the "Maja" kindergarten in New Belgrade. So, all that from November 1 last year until today. It's not enough
