Pristina Mayor Shpend Ahmeti has reacted to the recent increase in fatal accidents in Kosovo's communications.
He has remembered that the number of accidents has increased, as the possibility of receiving a driver's license has been removed to pay.
The capital's first has also indicated that by autumn Pristina, it will begin with traffic cameras and automatic penalties, warning that the sentences will be brought to an even greater end.
Ahmeti's reaction:
The number of accidents in Kosovo has once become disturbing. Unrolled speed and inadequacy to weather conditions are the main causes of accident reports.
But we also need to talk about public policies in Kosovo about traffic security in recent years. There's close conglomerate between traffic sentences and the number of accidents. But not just writing the sentences but paying the sentences.
You can look at the number of accidents at the time when the policy of getting a patent driver to pay, and after leaving this policy. In a decision by Home Affairs Minister Skender Hyseni, because he was deemed to be against human rights, his driver's license was lifted and sentence was written. In Pristina alone, prior to the verdict, sentences were paid more than 70 per cent in the first week after the sentence, following the decision, payment in the first week fell below 5 per cent. The number of accidents increased dramatically immediately.
As you can see, the new law with the increase in punishment doesn't have the right effect because change happens on payments. Rarely do there are officers who write 900 euros for speed, it's just hard to punish anyone in Kosovo by 900 euros.
We've also received a letter from the ombudsman that the documens cannot be taken as hostages for the payment of punishments, but if there's no quick payment of punishments, speed and traffic violations are even more frequent.
In autumn, the Pristina municipality will begin with traffic cameras and automatic penalties. We're going to collect the warrants and support the policy so that no registration of a car with unpaid sentences from last year. /Periscopi/
