The twenty-fifth (XXV) session of the Council for Development of the South-East Planning Region was held

On 02.02.2021 the twenty-fifth (XXV) session of the Council for Development of the South-East Planning Region was held, which due to the Covid-19 pandemic, was held online, through the ZOOM platform. The session was attended by the mayors of the municipalities in the region and the Manager of the Centre for development of the South-East planning region.

On the session it was mainly discussed on the manner of treating mosquitoes in the territories of the municipalities in the South-East planning region for 2021. A Decision was made for mutual activity of the municipalities for treatment of mosquitoes in 2021 by land, on the basis of which two larvicidal and three adult treatments against mosquitoes will be performed, i.e. three terrestrial aerosol dеsinsections against adult mosquitoes with ULV method and two larvicidal dеsinsections on the territories of the ten municipalities in the region.

This Decision was adopted earlier in order to meet the deadlines and recommendations of the Public Health Centres for timely mosquito spraying and to follow the recommended spraying and treatment intervals to increase efficiency, get the best result from this process and protect the health of the citizens of our region.

At the same time, a conclusion was adopted to ask the Ministry of Transport and Communications to include the area of ​​Monospitovo swamp in the locations that are priority for mosquito spraying by the Ministry as an example for Lake Dojran from our region. Namely, due to the unavailability of the terrain, there is no possibility to perform terrestrial (from the ground) aerosol dеsinsections and on the other hand this swamp is the largest source of mosquitoes in this region.

At the twenty-fifth session of the Council of SEPR, the Decisions for sale of the old  motor vehicle and for purchase of a new official motor vehicle for the needs of the Centre for development of the South-East planning region were unanimously adopted.

At this session was determined the amount of funds that each of the municipalities in the region will allocate annually for financing and smooth operation of the Public Enterprise for Catching Stray Dogs “Astra – Luna” – Strumica, for which a decision was made by the Council.
