The Consumer Association Efektiva informed the public that from August, Parking Service Belgrade will transfer monthly payments for parking spaces to an account at Alta Bank. Efektiva noted that the publicly-owned company currently holds 21 bank accounts, with 20 in commercial banks. Parking Service Belgrade has 5 accounts in AIK Bank, 3 each in Intesa, Addiko, Postal Bank and NLB Bank, 2 in Alta Bank, 1 in OTP Bank, and 1 with the Treasury Administration.
Efektiva highlighted that maintaining these accounts costs Parking Service Belgrade about 100 euros per month, or approximately 1,200 euros annually.
Similarly, EPS recently began using an account at Alta Bank for payments instead of the Treasury Administration, which caused public dissatisfaction. Alta Bank is owned by businessman Davor Macura, who is reportedly linked to the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
