The electricity problems of the village located kilometers away from the capital has been pressing for several months now. In February people residing in Lozen staged a protest aimed against the electricity distributing services of CEZ and then the problem was fixed.

However, CEZ representatives have yet not made an official statement on the case over that left people without constant electricity flow over the past 24 hours.

Residents of Lozen protested on account of the fact that electricity disruptions in the village are by far not uncommon. While the majority of customers pay their bills regularly, they said that the service does not correspond to the price paid.
