Blood Year in Communication

The streets of Kosovo are blooded again, by a large number of deaths, as a result of matches, foot pressures or even self-accidents.

86 accidents have ended with fatality, while 121 is the death toll in these accidents in one year.

Causers who mostly lead to serious accidents are a lack of signs, inadequacy, and a craving for speed.

Within the year, there were many more accidents... 5,000 and 706 cases of accidents were injured, where they suffered 11 thousand and 336 people.

Pristina region ranks first on the list of most accidents during 2018.

The worst case in 2018 occurred in this country, in July of this year at the Suhareka-Pristina magistrate, near the village of Duhhl, a car was hit by a bus, where five members of the Sadiki family died of Sopi village of Suhareka.

According to Kosovo Police statistics in 2018, there is a decline in fatality accidents, as 119 people died in 2017 for 11 months.

And there were 16 thousand and 122 accidents.

In the village of Dush, Kline County, in September 2018, 3 people from the same family died as a result of a train hit

Despite the decrease in the overall number of accidents, however, the number of people who died from accidents has remained almost the same.

Two young women were hit by a speeding car. Unfortunately, the wounds did not survive, one had died on the scene, and the other a few days later

Of all drivers an appeal for caution in communications has been made by Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.

And in April 2018 it was the police who became victims of the accident. At the Elez-Cakanian Entrena Han, at the site called “The laughing tower”, a Kosovo Police Car in which two policemen were located, lost control and moved to the left side of the road and from the huge height had fallen into the river Lepenc. Malexor Dash and Andur Trena, the two police officers at the Kachanic station, were found dead after several days of searching in the river.

In 2018, cases were marked when cars of other institutions, such as Turkish ambassador's escort to Pristina-Gylan and a KFOR car in Fushe Kosovo, were involved in accidents.

An accident that prompted many reactions occurred right there. It's this one in the vicinity of the village of Mramor in the Pristina-Gnjilan magistrate, where 4 Shala family members from the village of Ponesh lost their lives. The reason it was debated is that the Shala family car was hit directly with the car Turkish ambassador to Kosovo was travelling with.

In expertise from the Pristina Foundation Prosecutor's Office, the car's fault was Opel Corsa, in which even victims of the accident were located.

Bekim Ahmeti, the communications expert estimates that such a situation comes from the state system's failure to raise awareness and create greater security in communications.

The Interior Ministry says it has taken all measures which were considered necessary for preventing accidents, but again, behaviors in communications are not changing.

Even Kosovo police have sometimes changed measures to try to prevent accidents.

Generally in Kosovo, during 2018, there were 14,000 and 393 accidents, or 39 within 24 hours.
