The principle of the objective responsibility was applied and the responsible person was punished with a fine for the created state of danger. Even today when passing through the city we can see the plants on the terraces that are not secured, the facades that threaten to fall off, and the broken billboards, etc. For this reason, the issue of responsibility for endangering the safety of citizens and their property is always a priority.
