Sixty refugee families residing in the territory of Loznica received the keys to their new apartments. The apartments were built within the fifth sub-project of the Regional Housing Program in the Republic of Serbia and are intended for rent and purchase as well as for social housing in protected conditions.
The Government of the Republic of Serbia has proven to pursue a responsible policy of solidarity and understanding for the difficulties faced by refugee families from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and is committed to the implementation of the Regional Housing Program.
