Soon all the Roma will be excluded from electricity, Bosko Ajdinović, Roma coordinator in this town in southern Serbia told BETA. Kursumlija has about 225 Roma families, and every family owes on average between 200,000 and 700,000 dinars. (1 800 – 6300 euros) Ajdinović warns that the Roma from Kuršumlija are in a very difficult situation because, among them about 150 children. As he says, these Roma are not able to pay back the debt for electricity, because 90 percent of these are users of Soup Kitchen.
