KRAGUJEVAC - Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Marjanovic said Wednesday in Kragujevac, central Serbia, that his government would fully implement the program of reconstruction of the Zastava automobile industry, parts of which have already been put into operation.
The residents of Kragujevac will have heating in the coming winter, as priority has been given to reconstructing the heating plant, which is also part of the Zastava industry, Marjanovic said.
After the NATO bombing Zastava was in ruins, but reconstruction endeavors are making it into a modern automobile industry which will manufacture new types of cars, Marjanovic said.
President of the Zastava board of managers Milan Beko said that the Serbian government and Zastava workers had done much to reconstruct the plants and resume production.
Marjanovic inspected the plants for the manufacture of Scala cars, tools and four-wheel-drive trucks, the smithy and the Energetika section which provides compressed air, water and power for Zastava and for the Kragujevac heating plant, which had all been destroyed or damaged in the NATO aggression last spring but have now resumed production.
Over 100 companies which cooperate with Zastava will also be reconstructed and developed, and the government will continue realizing its program of assistance to workers who lost their jobs due to the NATO aggression, it was noted during a meeting Marjanovic held with Zastava executives.
