The Stranka slobode i pravde (Party of Freedom and Justice – SSP) has issued a statement condemning what it describes as serious infrastructure failure in the Kumodraz neighborhood of Belgrade, where a road reportedly collapsed at the exact location where the company Mašinokop had been working on a sewer network project.

According to Nenad Petrovic, head of the SSP’s Vozdovac branch, the incident highlights what he calls the “incompetence and irresponsibility” of Masinokop, a firm allegedly close to the ruling SNS party. He said the project has been plagued by delays, deadline extensions, and poor construction quality.

“Work on the sewer system began in December 2022 and was supposed to last 610 days,” Petrovic stated. “It’s now May 2025, and the end is nowhere in sight. Instead of progress, residents are facing dangerous sinkholes in the middle of the street and a daily threat to their safety.”

Petrovic added that Belgrade residents are “hostages of an arrogant and unqualified government,” claiming that such administrations contract “equally incompetent companies” to do their bidding.

“The only real solution is for this corrupt radical government to become history—and to be held accountable for all its wrongdoing,” Petrovic concluded, as quoted by the SSP.
