As of today, the heating season officially begins in Serbia. This means that the heating plants are in working mode until April 15, and if the weather conditions require heating, it can be extended until May XNUMX. broadcast by RTS.
Regardless of the fact that, as announced by RHMZ, the highest daily temperature will be 18 degrees today, the delivery of thermal energy to citizens will begin in the afternoon, said the director of Belgrade Power Plants, Vanja Vukiฤ.
"In the next few days, we expect the temperature to drop, and the Belgrade power plants will start delivering according to the decision to supply citizens with heat energy." Around 12 o'clock, we will turn on the boilers, heat up the network, and before nightfall, when the temperature drops, we will deliver thermal energy to the citizens," says Vukiฤ.
According to him, citizens should expect warm radiators around 18.30:19 or XNUMX p.m.
Bills increased by five to 30 percent in 22 municipalities
The new heating season will bring higher bills to the citizens of Serbia. Out of a total of 60 heating plants in Serbia, 22 of them increased the prices of their services with the approval of the local self-governments in whose territory they operate in the amount of five to more than 30 percent. writes Danas.

Thus, the citizens of Belgrade, who have district heating in their homes, and where the increase in the price of that service has been approved since September 1, will pay bills more expensive in the amount of six percent. This means that 60 dinars will be needed to heat a 95.600-square-meter apartment on an annual basis.
The Director of the Association of Heating Plants of Serbia, Dejan Stojanoviฤ, explains to RTS that the reason for the price increase is that in the past two years local governments have not given consent for such a thing.
"Gas has risen in price by 50,4 percent, and fuel oil by 28,34 percent since the beginning of this year." says Stojanoviฤ and explains that not all heating plants will correct prices and that it depends on the dynamics and methodology of determining them.
Some agree with this decision and consider it even inevitable because the prices of gas and fuel oil are increasing, while others believe that there is no justified economic reason for the price increase.
Some do not agree with the decision for heating plants to raise their prices because they believe that there is no justified economic reason for increasing the price of district heating.
"The only reason why it happened is the desire of local governments to fill their budgets." Given that we are in an economic crisis and inflation is in double digits, the prices of district heating, which are already high and are paid throughout the year, should be subsidized where the conditions exist to protect the purchasing power of consumers. says the president of the Movement for Consumer Protection of Serbia, Petar Bogosavljeviฤ, for Danas.
What have been the biggest complaints of citizens so far?
Speaking about citizens' complaints, Vukiฤ says that they most often complained about home heating installations - about radiators and pipes in apartments.
"In September, we issued a statement for citizens to report malfunctions if they think their radiators have run out of water," says Vukiฤ and adds:
"Our system has been idle since May 1st until today, so I call on the citizens that if there is a leak, report it to the Belgrade Electric Power Company, on the number 11011 - the unified call center."
