In Indjija, contracts for the purchase of 15 rural houses with gardens were ceremoniously handed over to refugee families from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The houses are awarded as part of the ninth sub-project of the Regional Housing Program.

"Today, we are handing over 15 contracts for the purchase of rural houses in the territory of the municipality of Indjija, and thus we will permanently provide 15 refugee families who have found refuge here after the war-affected areas.
