Staff meeting held: inspectors to step up inspections of premises

A meeting of the Kula Municipality Emergency Situations Headquarters was held today. Members of the Headquarters discussed the current epidemiological situation in the municipality of Kula and the winter service’s preparedness.

Kula Municipality President and Emergency Situations Headquarters Commander Damjan Miljanić said that the situation in the municipality was unstable, as a large number of patients with symptoms of acute respiratory infection had visited the COVID clinic in recent days, and that compliance with the measures was of the utmost importance.

Miladin Pikula, head of the Inspection Affairs Department in the Municipal Administration, noted that inspectors have already begun inspections and advisory visits to catering and other establishments, and that the report is being sent to the sanitary inspectorate in Sombor, which will continue the process. He added that inspections found that a large number of establishments were not complying with the measures, and that reports would be filed for failure to observe business hours.

Kula Municipality President and Emergency Management Headquarters commander Damjan Miljanić concluded that increased inspections are necessary in all public institutions, catering and other establishments, and that penalties should be imposed on all those who fail to comply with the measures.

Dejan Aleksić, coordinator of winter maintenance operations for the Kula Municipal Administration, said that the winter service’s machinery had been inspected and checked and was ready for operation. He added that, in addition to the machinery, sufficient quantities of salt and grit had been procured, and that the plan was to maintain third-priority roads regularly as well as first- and second-priority roads.
