Opening celebration of Hajr cesma and new Hifa Oil petrol station - Euro Oil in Sarajevo

After the speeches of the local community representative of locality Svrakino 2, and Izudin Ahmetlic owner and director of company Hifa OIl, as well as Semir Efendic mayor of Novi Grad municipality in Sarajevo, Hajr cesma has been oficially opened together with the shaheed family members and veterans of this locality.

As a source used by the citizens of the locality, tap water existed earlier. In the seventies, the citizens self-initiatively organised to reconstruct the existing source covered by logs which they made new of concrete and then used for drinking. During the last war, the source had been of great use for the citizens on the left and right side of the road as the city water network had been used. One person even died while waiting in line for water, as it was bombarded a lot.

“Few years after the war, the tap was ragged, and a water analysis two years ago showed the water was not for drinking. By buying the land for building new Hifa Oil objects, the locality representatives asked us to safe the source as this had been the tap of salvation for this area. Hajr cesma was donated by my mother when she heard the whole story, and Hifa Oil promised to the community representatives to rebuild the existing tap, clean it, and build up a new better one, and hand it over for use”, explains Izudin Ahmetlic managing director of the company Hifa Oil.
