Residents and students in Novi Pazar took part in repair and reuse workshops on November 9–10, 2026, as part of the “Vredi da traje” (“Worth Keeping”) campaign under the EU for a Circular Economy in Serbia project, according to a November 10 report by Tanjug.
What happened
Residents could bring bicycles for free inspections and minor repairs. A shoemaker also examined shoes and carried out small repairs, while students learned ways to extend the useful lives of everyday objects.
Why it matters
Aleksandra Vučinić, an official at Serbia’s environment ministry, said repair and reuse can reduce waste while preserving practical skills and passing them to younger generations. This is her assessment, not an independent measurement of the programme’s impact.
What to know
The workshops have already taken place. The reported services should not be presented as a permanent free repair scheme; future events and eligibility should be checked with organisers.
