Police: 121 dead in 6,000 traffic accidents since June

He pointed out that most road accidents happen during the summer vacation season.

"Our analyses show show that in the last 10 years, during the tourist season, an average of 300 people get killed each year. We identified the problem, so the average has been significantly reduced in the last three years," said Radenkovic.

According to him, since the beginning of the year there have been around 20,000 traffic accidents in Serbia, resulting in the deaths of 330 people and leaving 11,000 more with various degrees of injuries - i.e., nine percent more dead and six percent more injured than over the same period last year.

Radenkovic pointed out that the police are continuously carrying out enhanced traffic checks focused primarily on detecting and sanctioning speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, and those not wearing seat belts - the three problems that he said EU traffic safety institutions have identified as "the three killers."
