In this way, it will greatly relieve the sanitary inspectors of the republic, who until now have been the only ones authorized to implement anti-epidemiological measures of the Crisis Staff.
These are the most important changes to the Law for the Protection of the Population against Infectious Diseases, which has already been drawn up by the Ministry of Health and which will be presented on Thursday in the session of the new government. According to the announcements, the amendments to this law should be approved by the parliament next Tuesday, November 10, which means that the crisis personnel measures could be implemented more rigorously in Serbia from next week.
As a reminder, currently only the republic’s sanitary inspectors can impose sanctions for non-compliance with anti-epidemiological measures, of which there are only 140 in the entire territory of Serbia.
In addition, the city municipal inspector or communal militiaman may issue a fine to a legal entity on site if, for example, there is not enough space between tables in the catering facility or there are more guests than allowed in relation to square feet. The fines for a legal entity range from 50,000 to 500,000 dinars.
By the way, the communal inspectors and communal militiamen of the city will not have all the authorizations of the sanitary inspectors with the reforms to the Law for the Protection of the Population from Infectious Diseases, but only those who do not enter the medical profession.
In other words, it will sanction those violations of anti-epidemiological measures that are visible to the layman. For example, they can sanction discos for organizing parties where, at first glance, it is clear that nobody wears a mask or respects physical distance.
If we take into account that only in Belgrade there are about 370 communal militiamen, and that 53 different municipal inspectors from the capital participated in the actions of control of anti-epidemiological measures in the last three months, it is evident that the sanitary inspectors of the republic will receive a big boost. As a reminder, city inspectors can currently only sanction non-compliance with working hours, in accordance with the Catering Act.
And how have the republic’s sanitary inspectors been punishing lately? Most invited to respond is Goran Stamenković, Deputy Minister of Health for inspection matters. As he says, health inspectors are obliged to submit a request to initiate a fault procedure to the competent judge, for legal persons, for businessmen, for legal persons in the responsible person, but also for citizens who do not respect the prescribed measures.
– In the previous four days, 2,237 inspections were carried out, 74 requests for the initiation of misdemeanor proceedings were filed – Stamenković noted.
By the way, sanitary inspectors in the previous period more frequently imposed sanctions for non-compliance with physical distance, non-use of masks, but also for the lack of disinfectants in the facilities.
