MUP KS confirmed: We continue controls of the odd-even system

The Ministry of Interior of the Sarajevo Canton continues with controls of the implementation of the decision on the odd-even system, and will record any potential violators. 

- According to the data so far, we can say that the decision is mostly respected - state from the MUP KS.

As confirmed for the Patria agency on the day the decision on driving cars on the odd-even principle began to be applied, the Sarajevo police cannot fine drivers in the Sarajevo Canton who violate the measures banning motor vehicle driving under the odd-even system because there is no legal basis for it. 

- That decision is not even in the register of fines. We have no way to impose misdemeanor sanctions. The decision was never fully developed, and police officers in the field have no basis on which to fine drivers - said a Patria source from the MUP KS.

The police must act according to the decision and control drivers, but they cannot punish them.

The Operational Headquarters, within the episode of the Alarm, ordered, among other things, the measure of “temporary restriction on the use of motor vehicles by introducing the odd-even license plate driving system" with the start of application on December 25.
