Construction at the wastewater treatment facility in the village of Botun has been halted by the urban construction inspector from the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism, and State Property. The inspector, Slaven Radunović, affiliated with the New Serbian Democracy (NSD), took this action on the evening of the inspection.
According to a report by Vijesti, the inspector did not specify a deadline for rectifying the irregularities observed at the site. Instead, he issued an immediate decision to seal the construction area. Sources indicate that the issues identified were considered “minor technicalities” that typically would allow for a grace period to address them.
The decision to seal off the construction site reflects ongoing regulatory oversight in the region, emphasizing the importance of compliance with urban planning standards. The action has raised concerns among local stakeholders about the potential delays in project completion, which is crucial for improving wastewater management in the area.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the construction company will respond to the inspector’s order and whether they will be able to rectify the noted deficiencies swiftly. The community of Botun is awaiting further updates, as the facility is expected to play a key role in enhancing public health and environmental standards in the region.
This incident highlights the critical balance between development and regulatory compliance, a theme increasingly relevant in urban planning discussions across various regions. The actions taken by authorities serve as a reminder of the need for transparency and adherence to legal frameworks in construction projects.
