The Prosecutor’s Office recently presented evidence and documentation concerning the operation of an illegal nightclub named “Pulse,” alongside various other establishments located within the municipality of Kočan. Central to the proceedings was the revelation that the inspection and control plans established by the Directorate for Protection and Rescue failed to include this specific nightclub. Furthermore, the Prosecutor’s Office stated that no planned or extraordinary inspections were conducted within the territory of Kočan during 2016, and that no inspector was assigned to carry out such duties that year.
The presentation also highlighted deficiencies in historical oversight, citing documents from 2012, 2013, and 2014 that indicated a lack of clear criteria for assessing the potential risk associated with various types of facilities. A key discrepancy noted was the scope of the Directorate’s official control plans. These plans were documented to cover standard commercial venues such as hotels, restaurants, and motels, while explicitly omitting nightclubs and similar entertainment venues from their regulatory scope.
The evidence presented by the prosecutor detailed systemic gaps in safety oversight. The documentation suggests that the regulatory framework did not adequately account for high-risk establishments like the illegal nightclub, pointing to procedural oversights across multiple years and levels of municipal inspection. The findings underscore a disparity between the designated scope of safety inspections and the actual operational reality of commercial venues in the region.
