TWO DAYS OF STORM
Ljig – On June 11, 2005, the second storm in 48 hours that struck the Kolubara area proved to be destructive for its citizens. A powerful downpour, with hail, damaged crops and roads, while many villages were left without power. In less than two hours 25 liters of rain per square meter fell. There was a lot of rainfall in the night between Sunday and Monday which caused the flooding of the rivers Ljig and Kacer and the river Dragobiljska. It also caused the destruction of crops and gardens in the Municipality of Ljig. Hundreds of hectares of fertile, plowed fields in villages as are Moravci, Brancic, Cvetanovac and Jajcic were under water.

ASSOCIATION OF CITIES FORMED
At the meeting in May in Jagodina, 32 Heads of Council and 2 Mayors from Serbia formed an Association of Cities and Councils of Serbia. Their aim is to unite and, in that way, influence the Serbian government and the competent ministries by conserving local self-management, decentralization of finance and power. To do this certain laws must be chaged so that local self-management could play its part freely.
