The Firefighters' Union has filed a complaint with the State Attorney's Office (DORH) concerning the death of firefighter Goran Komlenac. The union alleges that Komlenac was "forgotten" during an intervention, suggesting a critical lapse in procedure.

In their complaint, the union seeks an investigation into alleged failures in command and the leadership of the intervention. They also question the justification for appointing specific commission members, whom the association claims are in a conflict of interest in their positions.

The union's action highlights serious concerns about the safety protocols and internal procedures within the fire service, particularly regarding the management of critical incidents and the integrity of internal review processes. The case points to a potential breakdown in communication or oversight that may have contributed to the tragic outcome.
