ZELJKOVIĆ URGES STANIVUKOVIĆ TO SUBMIT DRAFT 2027 BUDGET

BANJA LUKA, NOVEMBER 9 /SRNA/ – Bogoljub Zeljković, an SNSD member of the Banja Luka City Assembly, called on Mayor Draško Stanivuković and the Finance Department to submit the draft 2027 budget before the next meeting of the City Assembly Collegium, so that it could be put on the agenda of the next session.

"Public consultation must not be a mere formality, and we will not accept it being cut to just three or four days because of delays by the City Administration," Zeljković said.

He said on X that if the mayor delayed submitting the draft budget and the city had to resort to temporary financing as a result, the responsibility would lie solely with him.

"We will not allow him to create a problem through his own delays and then blame the Assembly and councilors for blocking the city," Zeljković said.
