Popovic told Beta news agency that the work of a plant of Pancevo chemical industry "Petrohemija'' that caused the pollution has been suspended, and that charges will be pressed against those responsible.

According to the Law on environmental protection, ''Petrohemija'' will have to pay a fine ranging from 150,000 to 3 million dinars.
