Prokuplje’s city assembly approved a revised 2026 budget on November 10. The updated plan lists total revenue and receipts of 2,510,748,575 dinars against expenditure and outlays of 2,566,372,360 dinars. The resulting planned deficit is 55,623,785 dinars.
The details
According to the assembly decision reported by Južne vesti, the gap is to be covered using unspent funds carried forward from previous years. The rebalance is also significant for municipal services, notably the Gradski vodovod water utility, whose employees have reportedly faced interrupted salary payments.
What it means
The assembly meeting had previously been postponed amid disputes over late distribution of briefing documents. Opposition councillors claimed the city’s underlying obligations are greater than the official deficit. That claim is contested political criticism, not a confirmed audit finding. Budget approval should also not be confused with actual year-end spending.
