Dusan Jovanovic, President of Municipality, said that signing of the contract was very significant for the farmers whose lots were along the earth roads, as their construction would be financed by ‘Electrawinds’, so the farmers will benefit from that, as they will be able to arrive to their property safely and the lots will gradually gain higher value. The Municipality will benefit as well, as it would not need to finance their maintenance from the local budget.
