Opposition MPs submitted a request to the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Tourism, Agriculture, Ecology and Spatial Planning, Dejan Đurović, asking for a control hearing on the topic: "Omissions by the authorities in suppressing Q fever".
In the written request submitted to the media by the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), the opposition requests a control hearing of: Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management Vladimir Joković; director of the Directorate for Food Safety and Phytosanitary Affairs Vladimir Daković, President of Nikšić Municipality Marko Kovačević; the president of the Municipality of Danilovgrad, Aleksandar Grgurović, and the director of the Institute for Public Health, Dragan Laušević.
"Given that an infectious disease in cows - Q fever - has appeared in the area of the municipalities of Nikšić and Danilovgrad, from which, in the meantime, two people have been infected, we believe that it is necessary that all of the aforementioned should be heard before this Committee. We remind you that the public learned about the Q fever epidemic by accident through the disclosure of data on the improper burial, digging up and transport of infected cows in the territory of Nikšić, after which the videos from Danilovgrad were also published, which put the health of the residents of these two municipalities at risk food safety and the relevant ministry acted unprofessionally in the case of this epidemic, confirmed by the fact that they informed the IJZCG at the end of July, and two days ago they said that the first cases of infection in animals were identified at the beginning of June team and the livestock fund, the dairy and meat processing industry in Montenegro, and we expect the representatives of the Parliament of Montenegro to show responsibility and enable the citizens of Montenegro to get answers to all problematic questions in order for this case to have an institutional epilogue," the explanation reads.
The request is signed by: Aleksandra Despotović, Drita Lola, Oskar Huter (DPS), Ana Novaković Đurović (URA) and Branislav Nenezić (SD).
