UNESCO asking Aleksandar Vucic for clarity on contradictory COVID-related numbers
28/12/2020
The European Department of Bioethics of the UNESCO organization called on the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to explain the contradictory data on the number of people infected with COVID-19 and the number of those who died from the COVID-19 death in social welfare institutions, as well as to explain the reports of child abuse “and other criminal activities in social welfare centres”, and what has been done to stop these activities and to indict the suspects.
The Bioethics Department of the UNESCO organization insists on the police being given new powers related to social work centres that would protect children and other vulnerable groups in Serbia, especially during the current pandemic.
