This has been announced by the official Information Index to the Kosovo Police, Daut Hoxha, who has shown that one causer of death in communications is overcoming speed.

Police appeal to all drivers to take greater care of vehicle management, especially now when it comes to changes in weather conditions, setbacks, and reduced visibility in the streets.

The police appeal to all drivers to take greater care along the direction of vehicles, especially now when it comes to changing weather conditions, cooling down, and reducing visibility on the streets. Because it's the drivers themselves who can contribute to the reduction of accidents, and in particular they're posing a huge concern”, Hoxha said.

According to him, the largest number of accidents are self-accidents, while the largest number of dead are drivers.

According to statistics, in the January-September period of 84 fatal accidents, 26 fatal accidents have been self-excident. Of the 95 people who lost their lives in traffic accidents 40 or 42.1 percent have been drivers.
