Since 2016, 16 people have died in fires at private nursing homes in Serbia. Following the latest incident in Barajevo, where eight people perished, the Ministry conducted emergency inspections and shut down three homes. The Ministry’s report revealed numerous irregularities at the “Ivanović” home, including a lack of fire protection. Despite this, the home was licensed in 2014 and 2021. All nursing homes must have a Ministry license, but many do not meet the required standards.
