Residents of Kopljari, a village near Aranđelovac, Serbia, are facing disappointment after a recently paved road began to deteriorate just two months following local elections. For decades, villagers had requested road improvements, and the paving was completed shortly before the vote. Locals express frustration that the work appears to have been rushed and of poor quality, suggesting it was primarily intended to influence the election outcome. The rapid degradation raises questions about the materials used and the oversight of the project. Authorities have not yet commented on the situation or announced plans for repairs. This incident highlights concerns about infrastructure projects being timed to coincide with electoral cycles and the potential for substandard work. The villagers now face the prospect of navigating the damaged road for the foreseeable future.
