During the inspection in the interrogation room, two metal bars were found inside the cupboard and in its immediate vicinity, that is, in the hallway in front of the detention room, the NPM team noticed a wooden stick, which are suspicious objects that could be used to intimidate detainees, that is, persons deprived of liberty and detained persons. The Law on Justice for Children stipulates that a conversation with a child is conducted in special rooms suitable for conversation with a child of its age, but the NPM team established that the Centar Police Station does not have a separate room for conversation with minors. Detention rooms The Centar Police Station has one detention room with an area of 6.25 m², which is used for individual accommodation of detained persons, it meets the minimum required standards for accommodation of detained persons in terms of their size. The detention rooms have a metal fixed bed, equipped with mattresses and dirty bedding (mattress cover, blanket and pillow). The NPM team found that the detention premises were in a very poor condition, without light, no call system, the video surveillance system was not working, the air was unventilated and there was a bad smell of urine. Traces of blood have been seen on the walls of the detention premises. The NPM team recommends that urgent measures be undertaken to improve the poor conditions, which are indisputable that they are inhumane and unsuitable for detaining persons, even for a short period of time. In this room, the window glass was broken and according to the statement of the police officers, it was broken several months ago and has still not been replaced with a new one. The hygiene in the room was not satisfactory and there was a very bad smell. 32
