We didn't get his protection. A decision on the investigation will be made. After that, the detention will be proposed, on which it will be decided tomorrow”, he said.
Meanwhile, after being interrogated in the Prosecutor's Office, the bus driver has returned to holding.
As police reported yesterday, the driver will be prosecuted for allegedly committing criminal acts “causing traffic accident in road traffic”, for which the maximum sentence is up to 15 years in prison, reports Index.hr.
What has been proved so far by inspection?
Croatian police said yesterday that at 6:19am Sunday they accepted the accident report on the A3 Bregana-Lipovac highway, in the southern lane near the town of Slavonski Brod. In the Police's statement, it has been described how the bus, with 67 passengers and two drivers, emerged from the highway.
“During the investigation, in the presence of the state attorney, police determined that the traffic accident occurred so that a 52-year-old Kosovo citizen was driving a document bus and Kosovo registration license plates in the south lane of A3 Coastan-Arway from west to east. Reaching the 211th mile of the highway, the driver did not move in the middle of the target lane, but drove the vehicle to the bar area, and then the bus crashed to its side. The members of fire brigades and other emergency teams intervened at the site of the event to take the troops of the crash”, the statement said.
In this traffic accident, 10 people died, 15 people were seriously injured, 30 more easily. The injured were transported to the regional hospital in Slavonski Brod, where they are being held for further medical treatment.
Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani has declared it a day of mourning Monday because of this accident, which claimed the lives of 10 people -- mostly of the people who were coming from Germany for vacation in Kosovo.
Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, along with some of the ministers, was in Croatia yesterday, while Kosovo's ambassador to Croatia, Gzim Kasapolli, had been in advance at the regional hospital in Slavonski Brod, where over 40 people are receiving treatment.
According to the Croatian medium, 24sata.hr, bus drivers from Kosovo who were carrying exiles from Frankfurt to Pristina prior to the accident had stopped on the coast for half an hour. There they had changed, and the other driver had taken the bus route. It's supposed to be because of the driver's fatigue.
One of the drivers who wasn't driving at the tragic moment is dead.
The driver who was driving at the time of the tragic case admitted yesterday to the Prosecutor that for a moment he had fallen asleep, and then the bus had moved fatally off the highway.
