ANNUAL REPORT 2019-OMBUDSMANNATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM The access to the detention premises is only by stairs, more precisely the standards for access of persons with special needs are not met, and at the same time in PS Kavadarci there is no separate rear entrance to these premises through which the detained and detained persons would be led..
