Subsequent efforts in Banja Luka have shifted toward environmental protection and air quality. The Communal Police have increased inspections, including nighttime patrols, to prevent the illegal burning of waste such as tires and branches after pollutant concentrations exceeded safety limits. In Serbia, Belgrade has faced issues with extreme urban heat, where asphalt temperatures in New Belgrade reached 65°C, contributing to a high frequency of tropical nights.
