In his address, Selaković expressed his satisfaction that he had the opportunity to share the joy with 75 families who, after 25 years, will get their own roof over their heads, wishing them a lot of happiness, joy and beautiful moments in their new homes.

"The city of Nis has become richer for 75 wonderful, hard-working, diligent, honest families, our people who did not flee to Serbia of their own free will, but out of a desire to simply protect their dear lives", Selaković said, thanking the city of Nis for its help in the implementation of this project.

Minister Selaković, who is also the President of the Commission of the Government of Serbia for the coordination of the permanent integration process of refugees, said that 5,825 housing solutions have been allocated so far within the implementation of the RHP. He stated that 2,004 packages of construction materials, 305 prefabricated houses, 1,575 rural houses with a garden and 1,941 housing units were awarded.

The Minister said that the apartments that are being moved in today were built within the sub-project 9 of the RHP, emphasizing that its total value is around 1,500,000 euros.

"With this project, Nis will solve the issue of finding homes for our people who fled from the territory of B&H and Croatia to Serbia", said the minister, adding that it is also necessary to find an adequate solution for the issue of internally displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija.

The Minister thanked the EU, the largest donor to the RHP, and other bilateral donors participating in the aforementioned program. He also emphasized the importance of the Council of Europe Development Bank and especially thanked the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration for its engagement in the implementation of this program.
