The COVID-19 Crisis Response Team condemns in the harshest terms the violation of epidemiological measures that was noticed in some local governments over the past weekend.
At an extraordinary session held today, the team requested that the inspection surveillance be increased as at this moment, on the eve of beginning of the school year, the violation of the measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 is absolutely unacceptable.
The team sent letters to all mayors and presidents of municipalities, reminding them that they are obliged to ensure that all epidemiological measures, without exception, are respected on their territory and that their violation will not be tolerated.
If they notice even the slightest violation of the preventive measures, the competent authorities are obliged to act in line with the law and sanction such a behaviour.
This especially refers to organisers of various events throughout Serbia, whose duty is to secure all the necessary conditions so that the health of citizens would not be jeopardised.
To this purpose, the Serbian government will task the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Interior with toughening the control over compliance with the measures, in association with the Coordinating commission for inspection surveillance and inspection services of the units of local self-government, and with making a plan of joint inspections over compliance with all epidemiological measures in force.
All citizens of Serbia who notice non-compliance with the preventive measures can report this through the unique Contact Centre for inspections, through the portal www.inspektor.gov.rs or by calling the phone number 011/63-50-322 .
The laws of the Republic of Serbia, as well as all protocols on the implementation of epidemiological measures, elaborated by the COVID-19 Crisis Response Team, determine unambiguously the ways in which events can be organised and there must not be and there will not be any compromise regarding compliance with these regulations.
