The proposal was submitted by MP Nada Lazic who said that it is imperative to raise public awareness on the issue considering that in January Belgrade was one of the most polluted cities in the world in terms of air quality.

The Committee members agreed that the competent ministers Goran Trivan and Aleksandar Antic should be asked to speak at the hearing, as well as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Sector, Deputy Mayor of Belgrade and other eminent experts.
