Serbian Public Health Institute warning over Novi Sad protest

The state-controlled Institute said in a statement on its portal that the liquid could cause serious infections including hepatitis, Escherichia, rota virus and others. “Feces easily sticks to footwear and is passed on to workplaces and homes which inevitably leads to infections among the young and old, causing a health risk,” it said.

Novi Sad City Council member Misa Baculov, an athlete and humanitarian activist, drove a tractor with a tank full of liquid feces to Novi Sad city hall on Tuesday evening, pouring it out at the main entrance. He was arrested for causing a public health hazard.
