The head of the SD-LP councilors' club in the capital's assembly, Miloš Mašković, said that he will seek the dismissal of Marko Čađenović, the director of the public institution for housing, rehabilitation and resocialization of psychoactive substance users "Kakaricka gora", as well as the entire Council of that institution, which appointed him.
"We received information that, despite the rules, narcotics are being brought into the Kakaricka gora facility, and several users have been removed because of it. I asked the Secretariat for Social Welfare whether the competent authorities were aware of this. The question of responsibility arises. If a violation occurred, no we can ignore it, nor act as if it didn't happen. It is disputed that the master of physical education, Marko Čađenović, is not at the head of that assembly... This is a political appointment," Mašković said at the press conference.
He said that at the next session of the Assembly of the capital, he will start "the process of dismissing Mr. Čađenović."
"Addictive diseases are a problem for the entire society," Mašković pointed out.
The director of the NGO "My chance is your chance" Tanja Nuculović said that they informed the director of that institution, but that they did not receive a timely response from him.
"Based on the information received, the recent event was fully expected, and it is fortunate that everything was completed without fatal outcomes. I would like to know if the identification cards of visitors to the clients of 'Kakaricke gore' are taken. It is unclear how the drugs were introduced and whether the case was reported to the police. I'm also interested in whether the cameras recorded how long the clients stayed in the official premises," said Nuculović.
She said that the problem is that the recent events were not prevented.
Executive director of NGO Link Ranko Dacić pointed out that "'Kakaricka gora' was a renowned institution, but the recent events disappointed him".
"Yesterday, in front of the 'Kakaricke Gore' application form, I was told that I was forbidden to enter that institution. I did not come there as a member of a political party. Not responding to an email, cutting off communication, send me a clear message. Anyone who has a critical thought and their own attitude is prevented from talks about these problems. In the end, a civil activist who has knowledge about the matter is banned from entering," said Dacić.
He pointed out that the problems in "Kakaricka gora" had happened before.
"Guided by my experience, I know what problems the clients of that institution are currently facing. I don't want to go into their protocols, but they should bear legal responsibility for this," said Dacić.
Mašković answered the question of the "Vijesti" journalist and said that the recent incident involving the introduction of narcotics was the result of "irresponsible administration and political employment".
