The Republic of Srpska Minister of the Interior said today that the Republic of Srpska Emergency Situation Committee issued the Conclusion to announce names of persons who violate imposed isolation measures, as well as their permanent place of residence or address. In addition, by imposing this Conclusion, the Committee obliged local communities to provide quarantine within 24 hours on the territory of their local communities.
