Residents of the Serbian village of Farkaždin report a severe decline in essential services, including the loss of both a dentist and a permanent doctor. Critically, regular public transportation has also been eliminated, with the last bus service to Belgrade ceasing operation. This leaves the village increasingly isolated, particularly concerning for residents needing to access healthcare or travel to the capital. The situation is highlighted by the contrast with national discussions regarding futuristic transportation projects like flying taxis. Locals express feeling abandoned as the government focuses on advanced technologies while basic infrastructure deteriorates in rural areas. The lack of transport exacerbates existing challenges in accessing vital services for the village’s population. This raises questions about equitable development and resource allocation within Serbia.
