Communications experts say the possibility of accidents at this time is greater and calls for greater care.
According to Bekim Ahmeti, institutions should be prepared for the early winter season and not repeat the practices of past years.
Meanwhile, the former director of the company “Cleaning” in Pristina says the Pristina municipality is making it difficult for them because of lack of means to clear roads.
But officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure say all contracting companies are ready for weather change in the country.
No, it won't surprise us this year, because all the companies we've contracted are prepared with salt and other tools to be ready. So we are more prepared than last year”, said Rexhep Kadriu, deputy minister of Infrastructure.
In contrast, between January and October of this year, there have been 13 thousand and 195 traffic accidents across the country, which number 1,000 and 594 less than the same period in 2017.
Despite the decrease in the overall number of accidents, however, the number of people who died from accidents has remained almost the same.
According to police statistics, during this 10-month period, 103 people have died in traffic accidents, and according to experts, this number could increase in winter season.
