Firstly, management of Water Supply and Sewage (ViK) need to solve problems in the Water Supply and Sewerage (VIK). Their job is to sanction thousands of illegal consumers, to charge the bills of tycoons who do not pay water for longer period of time and to increase revenues. Then to reduce unnecessary expenditures and reception staff in the administration, not to buy official cars while in storage they do not have the basic tools to work, ” wrote Konaković.
