The modification of the Law for the protection of the population against infectious diseases is foreseen.
As announced by Serbian Radio-Television, changes have already been made to the law and will be presented to the Government on Thursday and to the deputies of the Serbian Parliament on November 10.
Tamara Stojevi, a member of the working group to amend the law, told RTS that the law also contemplates the possibility of a final order, that is, a mandatory sanction, so that the sanitary and communal inspector can impose a sanction on the spot.
He mentioned that the amount of fines for non-compliance with the measures does not change and that they amount to several thousand dinars to half a million dinars.
Now the situation is such that wearing a mask or not, keeping your distance, as well as the operation of catering facilities, is the exclusive responsibility of sanitary inspectors, and there are only 140 of them in Serbia.
The Deputy Minister of Health for Inspection Affairs, Goran Stamenkovi, told RTS that sanitary inspectors are obliged to submit a request to initiate a preliminary procedure to the competent judge for legal persons, businessmen, but also for citizens who do not comply with the prescribed measures.
“In the previous four days, 2,237 inspections were carried out, 74 requests were made to initiate a pre-trial process,” Stamenkovi said, adding that almost no requests were made against citizens who do not wear a mask or do not keep their distance.
