The relevant cantonal ministry in Sarajevo has asked tenants in residential buildings to make common parts of the buildings functional, which can be used as shelter. The reaction of the Civil Protection was also requested.
This information was confirmed by Enver Hadziahmetovic, Cantonal Minister of Communal Economy, Infrastructure, Spatial Planning, and Environmental Protection.
”I gave all the managers of housing units the task to put the shelters into function in cooperation with the Civil Protection because we have information that many do not serve their purpose,” he stated.
The ministry asked the managers to notify the tenants of the previous request. Hadziahmetovic also requested a reaction from the Civil Protection.
”As the Cantonal Civil Protection Staff, we have given an obligation to all municipal civil protection staffs to provide us with the situation in this area, because all shelters are under the jurisdiction of local communities,” Hadziahmetovic added.
He explained the reason for this decision.
”Of course, the latest events in the world are one of the reasons to take greater care of this, but without that, it is the obligation of citizens, managers, and Civil Protection to take care of common areas in their domain,” he pointed out.
Most shelters in the Canton Sarajevo (CS) were built before the last war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Many are still in a devastated state, and some have been repurposed.
