THE "ELEKTROPRIVREDA"
BUILDING
Electricity
was a rare guest in the city. The citizens made do with car batteries,
candles given by humanitarian organizations, home- made oil lamps which
required small amounts of edible oil and bits of shoestring, and with
a variety of more or less successful inventions. Some people used battery
and the so called "SOROS" lamps which required solar energy. Although
there was plenty of solar energy the lamps had little capacity and quickly
broke down. In the hilly parts of the city people built mini power-generating
plants. The "Elektroprivreda" building was on the front line, next to
the bridge which borders with the occupied Grbavica district and it was
frequently shelled.
