"Everyone knows what Irig looked like eight years ago, neglected, with a high unemployment rate. Thanks to the efforts by all levels of government, that picture is different today. Irig is one of the most desirable places for vacation and recreation, people now want to come to live and work here," Gojkovic said during the ceremonial session of the Municipal Assembly, held on the occasion of the Day of the Municipality of Irig.

She pointed out that there will be more investments in Irig and that everyone is looking forward to the construction of the Fruska Gora Corridor.

He added that the Vrdnik Spa has become the second most visited in Serbia, and that Irig is becoming the wine capital of Vojvodina, while the construction of the Fruska Gora Corridor will also contribute to further development.

"More and more citizens are expressing interest in living in our municipality, all thanks to the great understanding from the Provincial Government and the policy of (President of Serbia) Aleksandar Vucic," said Stojakovic.
