Through an electronic order, Dejan Dimitrijevic is informed that the salary is in the bank account. Dimitrijevic from Graçanica is an employee of the archaeological park "Ulpiana".

For the last time, he received the electronic salary order at the beginning of August. Since that time, the phone has not informed him that his salary has been executed. Thus, at the end of December, he and five other colleagues complete five months without receiving their salaries.

Bajram Vitija, Qamil Sinani, Dejan Dimitrijević, Boban Velić, Ivan Ivanović, and Boban Tomić on Sunday did not know where to start to show their dissatisfaction with the treatment given to them by the state. They are not the only ones facing payment problems. There are also 15 people who worked in archaeological excavations during July, August and September, "Koha Ditore" writes today.

They were paid only for the month of July. On the other hand, it has been more than three years since the project to convert a part of the archaeological site into an archaeological park has not been completed.

Dissatisfaction has gone to such an extent that Dimitrijevic, who is also the owner of part of the land where the Park is located, has said that if the payments are not made by Thursday, they will block the Park.

Last year "Ulpiana" was visited by 33 thousand 224 people, according to a registration that takes place at the entrance of the Park.

The management plan was scheduled to be completed six months after the site was declared an Archaeological Park. This document has not yet been approved.
