The capital is often listed first on the list of countries with the highest level of pollution.

And the causes were many.

The use of coal for heating and circulation of old cars was listed among the main causes of alarming air pollution.

For the latter, the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, together with the Pristina municipality, made a decision to stop driving cars on the capital's main roads.

After two days, this arrangement had been canceled, and the normal flow of vehicles had begun again.

During the winter season, when air pollution was alarming, MMPH had sometimes also appealed to citizens not to use coal for heating because of the pollution it caused.

There were times when wood was sent to burn at schools and nurserys just to prevent pollution.

But the Ministry's commitment was only a few days, when air pollution became public debate.

But with the cold returned, air pollution has also returned to Pristina.

A Perscope reader has sent pictures of how black smoke comes out from the chimney of a building because of burning coal for heating.

The smoking building is located near the facility of the Ministry of Environment and Space Planning.

The reader reports that these pictures were made this morning, about 7:30 p.m./Periscopi
