The inhabitants of the settlement Žitni potok near Prokuplje, as they say, have not yet arrived in it in the 21st century.
- When it is a dry season, the lower part of the settlement has about 10 houses with water, but the other houses do not. Then we have to carry buckets of water to wash, and that's a big problem. Water is not the only problem for these locals. Even 90 percent of the houses have been illegally connected to electricity for more than 40 years.
In the settlement of Zitni potok, when it is winter, they pray to God that summer comes, not to tread on mud, when it is summer, they pray to God that winter comes to have water.
These people are fighting for their lives. Although we are in the 21st century, it seems that the achievements of civilization are a little lacking here. All basic living conditions are lacking.
- There is a lack of electricity, sewerage, the children do not have basic conditions, there is no pediatrician, there is nothing.
There is no water in the village, and that is their biggest problem. For any household chores or drips, a large amount of tap water must be brought from the village center.
It is washed by hand, and sometimes people go to the water five times a day, from the youngest to the oldest.
