Thousands of violations of citizens’ rights remain hidden,” he told daily Politika. The ombudsman stressed that citizens today suffered mostly due to lack of economic and social rights. According to him, a prerequisite for those rights was a solid economy but “Serbia’s economy has collapsed”. Sasa Jankovic (Tanjug, file) Politika Tanjug
