Mićin: It's a lie that it was intentional
The mayor of Novi Sad, Žarko Mićin, stated that it is a lie that the water loss in Novi Sad was intentional, but that it was a technical problem which, as he claims, has been fixed and there is water in the whole city.
"There was no water for less than an hour due to problems with the transformer station and power outages, which happened before. I will insist at EPS that the transformer station be reconstructed or replaced so that this kind of thing does not happen. So, it is a lie that the water loss was intentional, it was a technical problem that has been fixed and there is water in the whole city," Mićin announced on the X social network.
