<p class="rtejustify">Forestry Directorate of Canton Sarajevo warns on increased danger of outbreak of forest fires, because during this period a large number of citizens visit mountains and other excursion sites, and because a lot of spring landscaping works are being conducted. The Directorate appeals to the excursionists, and especially to the owners of land plots bordering with forest to be careful during their activities in order to prevent starting a forest fire.</p>

Making fire in forests and near forest land is allowed only at places which are determined and marked, while following all the prescribed conditions and security measures”.</p>
