Serbian experts have decided to start this initiative because tanning beds emit large amounts of UVA radiation, which significantly increases the risk of contracting melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer.

Politicians stand united when it comes to this proposal. Minister Zorana Mihajlovic said she supports a ban on the use of tanning minors, as she believes it to be damaging and dangerous for the skin. Slavica Djukic Dejanovic, as well as Borislav Stefanovic and  Zoran Babic share her opinion.

Statistical data show really worrying figures. Namely, in Serbia one person dies of melanoma each day. This is, by the way, one of the most aggressive tumors because it metastasizes spreading on other organs.
