Penalties for illegal waste dumping and attacks on official personnel
Officials from the Secretariat for Inspection and Communal Supervision of the Municipality of Tivat have been conducting inspections in recent days to monitor illegal dumping of soil, rubble, and other waste in areas not designated for such activities. Acting on citizen reports and in accordance with the powers granted by the Law on Communal Activities, the communal police encountered an offender (LJ.I.) on January 30th who was unloading waste from a truck on land near the Krtoljska intersection. A misdemeanor citation was issued to this individual in accordance with the Law. The Secretariat emphasizes that they will intensify inspections in this regard in the coming period and urge citizens to respect waste disposal rules to contribute to environmental preservation.
During the previous period, cases were recorded where Municipal Police officers were obstructed from carrying out official duties by subjects of communal supervision who refused to provide personal documents upon request. Misdemeanor citations were issued to these individuals in accordance with the Law on Municipal Police.
"At the end of the year, we also had two incidents where municipal police officers were forced to use force against subjects of communal supervision. Officers acted in accordance with the law. We will not tolerate attacks on official personnel, especially considering that they carry out demanding and responsible tasks in the interest of all citizens," emphasized Krsto Pejović, the Secretary of the Secretariat for Inspection and Communal Supervision.
He noted that one of these incidents occurred in the area of the Gradiošnica local community, and the individual L.R. was prosecuted for assaulting an official, with the case being before the competent court in Kotor. The second case of an attack on official personnel occurred in Arsenalska Street by an individual named P.O. A misdemeanor procedure was initiated in the court for insults and derogatory behavior towards the official.
