Municipality confirmed that it made an omission in operation by not deciding about the
request for the correction of the decision by an administrative act, pursuant to the provisions
of the Law on General Administrative Procedure which was in enforcement at the moment of
the submission of the request, but sent the notification to complainants. In accordance with
that, the Protector of Citizens recommended the solution on the request for the correction in
the form of an administrative act with explanation and legal remedies. The authority acted
completely in compliance with this recommendation.
In the field of the right to labor and labor relations and with regards to the execution of the
decision of the labor inspection on the return of the employee to work, the recommendation
was issued to the Public Enterprise in Loznica196. The City of Zaječar received the
recommendation because of the failure to return to work and to take into consideration the
legal understanding of the Administrative Court197. Because of the failure to return the board
mandate and to act upon the verdict of the Administrative Court, the recommendation was
issued to the municipality of Lebane198.
Unfortunately, in this reporting period too, the Protector of Citizens identifies the lack of
cooperation of individual local self-government units with this body. Due to the violation of
this legal obligation the recommendations are issued to the City of Prokuplje199, City
Administration of the City of Belgrade200 and municipality of Brus201 in which, inter alia, the
confirmation of the responsibility of the acting officer who was immediately responsible for
the lack of cooperation with the Protector of Citizens was asked.
In the procedure implemented upon his own initiative, the Protector of Citizens issued
individual opinion with the recommendation to centers for social work in Bela Palanka,
Dimitrovgrad, Jagodina, Kanjiža, Lebane, Leskovac, Pirot, Sombor, Subotica, Svilajnac,
Trstenik, Vladičin Han and Zrenjanin with regards to the fulfillment of the legal obligation of
the provision of architectural and other forms of accessibility to persons with disabilities. The
goal of the opinion with recommendation is to remove noticed omissions and improvement
of the existing condition until the full accessibility to persons with difficulties in movement
and sensory disabilities is reached. The Protector of Citizens, via means of public information,
noticed the practice of the PUC “Infostan tehnologije” Belgrade that the coercive charging of
the unsettled obligations of the users of public utility services before public enforcement
officers is entrusted to lawyer officers, which objectively and unnecessarily increases the costs
of irregular payers. On this occasion, with the aim of collecting all relevant information, the
Protector of Citizens contacted the stated public utility company and the City of Belgrade as
the founder, primarily starting with the fact that PUC “Infostan tehnologije” within its
organizational structure has formed special service dealing with the coercive charging of the
unsettled obligations of the users of public utility services in which persons with passed bar
exam work.
