Police declared roadblocks in downtown Pristina

Qamil Behrami, chief of traffic police in the capital, has told Indesksonline that the plan to stop driving cars in the capital today has gone without major trouble, despite what many drivers have been unaware of of the decision the institutions have made.

“Citizens in general have welcomed the decision to stop cars from entering the city's centre. There have also been those who have not been informed, but after the police officials' communication with them everything has been surpassed. Police have done their job in the best possible way, but we hope that in the coming days the number of officials will be added because the two main roads have many entrances and we have to put officers” there, Behram said of Indexline.

Behram has announced that the decision remains in effect and tomorrow will be the roads closed as today.

The decision to implement such a road plan came after numerous reactions related to overcoming the normal air pollution level in the capital.

In this regard, it has even begun today and the development of debate in the Kosovo Assembly on air pollution.

Although driving was smaller in Pristina today, the air continues to be at a very high level of pollution this evening.

Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Space Planning and Environment, Albena Resiti, along the extraordinary air hearing, has mentioned the causes of all this pollution.

Reshimaj has said thermal power plants are the biggest air pollutors in Pristina, citing that the Kosovo B thermal power plant filters have not been controlled since 1985. The same was later said by Minister of Economic Development Valdrin Luka, who indicated that the Kosova A thermal power plant was changed, but not the Kosova B thermal power plant.
