War veterans from the Third Army District will hold a mass protest today in front of the government building. They are calling for their demands to be met once and for all, namely payment of wages owed to them dating back to the 1999 Kosovo conflict, strike leader Dusan Nikolic told B92. War veterans set for mass protest “What we’re doing should bring an end to this business that we began seven months ago. It’s taking too long, we’re at our wit’s end, materially and in terms of time—it’s costing us a lot of money,“ he said. “If, by some chance, no-one wants to receive us in the government, not to speak to us, we’ll set up tents in the park outside the government building. We don’t want to go on the rampage, we don’t want any incidents, we just want to exercise our rights,“ Nikolic explained. The veterans want their wages reimbursed according to the same system adopted for their colleagues from the Toplicki district, who received EUR 2,600 on average, paid out in six equal monthly installments.
