AMSS: heavier traffic expected, drivers advised not to travel in the hottest part of the day
N1 relays AMSS guidance: after lighter-than-expected weekend traffic, Monday, June 29, at the start of the work week is expected to bring variable and heavier traffic, especially in cities. Drivers are advised not to travel in the hottest part of the day, when temperatures of about 40 C are expected; if travel is necessary, frequent stops are needed to cool vital vehicle components. AMSS says there are no delays at toll stations.
RHMZ issues warning over the heatwave
Danas, citing the Republic Hydrometeorological Service, writes that the heatwave will continue at the start of the week. Forecast highs in most places will be 36-39 C. The article was published on June 29 at 07:16 and updated at 07:29; it emphasizes the RHMZ high-temperature warning.
Working in extreme temperatures: what rights workers have
Labor-law specialist Olga Vuckovic Kicanovic told N1 that there is no separate legal basis for mandatory work from home because of extreme heat: it remains an employer's decision. For outdoor work above 36 C, an employer must provide water, shade or a cooled break area, a trained first-aid employee, and appropriate clothing. She noted that until two years ago the Labor Ministry issued recommendations for outdoor work, but no longer does so; compliance, she said, is a matter for inspection.
RHMZ: Temperatures up to 39 C today, outdoor fire risk
N1 relays a new June 29 RHMZ warning: Serbia's heatwave continues, with today's highs at 36-39 C. RHMZ also warned that in the coming days weather conditions may increase the risk of outdoor fires starting and spreading, especially in areas with the largest soil-moisture deficit and no recent rain. At 11:00, RHMZ measured 36 C in Kikinda and 23 C on Kopaonik; water levels on parts of the Danube, Sava and Tisa were around or slightly below low navigation levels.
Construction Ministry: Employers and workers should apply safety measures during heat
Danas/Beta writes that on June 29 the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure appealed to employers and workers in the construction sector to consistently apply occupational safety and health measures for outdoor work. The appeal follows forecast high temperatures; the ministry singled out construction sites as an area where workplace safety and health rules must be followed.

The UV index will be 8, a very high level; the outlet recommends regular hydration, high-protection sunscreen, light clothing, a wide-brim hat and sunglasses, and avoiding the strongest sun from 10:00 to 16:00.
