Epidemiologist Zoran Radovanovic told the BBC in Serbian in early November that people had lost trust in crisis personnel and the government since March, and that it was now much more difficult to impose tough measures.

“The problem is that we do not insist on existing measures either. If the use of masks indoors is mandatory, then those who do not wear them should be punished, ”said Radovanović, adding that there are intermediate solutions between wearing masks and curfew, and that the problem is that they are not applied.
