Inspection procedures conducted to ensure mass-event security

The subject matter addressed in this article concerns inspection procedures intended to ensure mass-event security. Such inspections are conducted by the executive bodies of a commune or by a Province Governor. The inspection powers include an assessment of the compliance of the running of the mass event (including a higher-risk mass event) with the conditions specified in the permit to hold the event, and – if these conditions are found to be violated by the organisers – the discontinuation of the event. The inspection may also result in issuing a decision prohibiting the organisation of the mass event if, after issuing the initial permit, it is found that there has been a breach of the security conditions which constituted the grounds for its issuing. In addition, the Province Governor may prohibit the organisers from conducting a mass event with public participation or from conducting the mass event on the territory of the Province or its part, or discontinue the mass event while in progress.
