"The Siemens factory in Kragujevac makes high-quality trams that are used in German cities. I guess they are also good for Belgrade," says Zoran Alimpić, a member of the City Election Commission.
Belgrade cannot currently acquire any new trams or buses, after the procedure for the purchase of 85 trams was frozen due to bidders' objections, and the tender for 150 buses was suspended at the beginning of the year, according to Ana Gođevac, vice president of the Belgrade Committee of the Freedom and Justice Party.
How can a loser like GSP, which will use most of the money received from the Belgrade budget to pay for the services of private carriers, buy trams worth 188 million euros
The Center for Local Self-Government and the union "Centar" from GSP claim that the technical specifications of the tender for the purchase of new trams were set to benefit the Turkish company Bozankaya
Driven thresholds placed on the tram tracks on the Bridge on Ada must be changed, and as stated by the City Transport Company, there will be no suspension of traffic during the works.
Belgrade is acquiring 100 new trams, based on private agreements with the Romanian factory "Astra", claims CLS. Why do trams come to us from Romania, if in Kragujevac there is a world-renowned brand of Siemens trams
And the new trams in Belgrade will be blue - with the decision to change the public procurement for the purchase of vehicles from Turkey. The mayor of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić, thus continues his war against the color red, in which he recognizes the ominous remnants of communism
The director of the non-governmental organization Center for Local Self-Government pointed out that Siemens produces trams of the highest quality in Kragujevac, employing Serbian engineers and workers, and assessed that it is "unbelievable that the Belgrade government is not considering purchasing trams from them" for the capital city.
