The Protector of Citizens, Zoran Pašalić, once again called on citizens to report to his office and competent institutions if they have knowledge and suspicions of violence in partner or family relationships in their environment, it was announced from Pašalić's office.
Pašalić asked the competent authorities to act consistently according to the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence.
"I again appeal to all women who suffer domestic violence and any other violence to report the abusers who abuse them to the competent authorities. I also appeal to all citizens of Serbia to show solidarity and not to turn their heads, but to report if they have information about violence in someone's family, neighborhood or among relatives," said Pašalić.
He added that he expects all competent authorities to whom the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence applies to strictly adhere to "every letter" of that act.
