The excavator that buries the tires on the route of the new highway has caused numerous reactions. The contractor says that it is an individual's irresponsibility

Footage of an excavator burying old car tires with earth on the route of the new highway from Pakovrača to Burns appeared a few days ago on social networks, and on that occasion an announcement was also made Public company "Roads of Serbia".

As stated in the announcement, an urgent order was issued to the contractor - the Chinese company CCCC, to carry out an inspection and inform about the matter.

"Roads of Serbia" stated that the Chinese company CCCC stated that the burying of old car tires with earth on the new route of the highway from Pakovraća to Požega is the result of the irresponsibility and personal decisions of individuals, and not the company's practice.

"The CCCC company does not support or allow the burying of waste tires as a way of disposing of waste. The company treats such a practice as a violation of business policy, because it is against internal procedures, valid laws of the Republic of Serbia and regulations related to environmental protection," stated the CCCC company, and it is written in the press release of JP "Roads of Serbia".

CCCC had no knowledge of this proceeding

The Chinese company CCCC thanked the person who made the video, because, as they stated, their company had no knowledge of this absolutely illegal procedure before the video material appeared.

Immediately upon learning, as they claim, they took certain measures: they initiated and conducted an internal investigation, notified the competent services, and at the same time activated an emergency rehabilitation plan in cooperation with licensed operators for waste management.

"The internal investigation revealed that it was an individual act of an employee of our company at the construction site, against whom disciplinary measures will be taken. Our goal is to correct his unacceptable omission, but also to build long-term mechanisms of control and transparency in cooperation with local self-governments and civil society organizations in Serbia," stated the Chinese company CCCC.

They apologized to the citizens of the Republic of Serbia, as well as to all those who are rightly upset by this procedure.

"We are aware that trust is built through actions, and that is why we are determined to prove by our actions that we will not tolerate such situations, because they have no place in our work and business culture," concluded the Chinese company.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
