Aleksandar Šapić, a member of the Provisional Authority of Belgrade and candidate for mayor of the coalition "Aleksandar Vučić - Serbia must not stand still" predicted 100 million dinars for the rental of billboards, of which 40 million will be spent by the end of the year. It is one of the 176 items on the agenda of today's session of the Temporary Authority of Belgrade.
"For that money it is possible to buy one magnetic resonance imaging. The extravagant spending of public money, the further concretization of Belgrade and putting the public interest in the second place compared to the private, are the characteristics of the decisions that await us today at the Provisional Authority", said Vladimir Obradović, a member of the Provisional Authority of Belgrade and a candidate for mayor in front of the coalition "Serbia against violence " at the press conference, before the beginning of the session.
Dobrica Veselinović, also a member of the Provisional Authority of Belgrade and the holder of the electoral list of the coalition "Serbia Against Violence" for the Belgrade elections, believes that it is "a way to further strengthen the pre-election campaign of the Serbian Progressive Party".
He pointed out that in the material for the session it is stated that Beokom service signed a contract for advertising city projects with the company Alma Quatro and that it is a matter of renting billboards.
Obradović assessed that it is not normal that 23.000 children do not know whether they will go to kindergarten on Monday.
"The outgoing city administration, led by Šapić, is changing the decision on the method of financing preschool institutions, even though this decision was not coordinated, negotiated or discussed with the representatives of preschool institutions, and that is why the strike was announced for Friday," he said.

Obradović said that plans for the demolition of the Old Sava Bridge are continuing and that on the agenda of today's session of the Temporary Authority of the City of Belgrade are "agreements leading in that direction".
The press conference was held in front of the side entrance to the Old Palace and not in the building, although it was announced. Obradovic said that they received information from the security "that the issue is not regulated".
