During the weekend, 64 traffic accidents occurred in Montenegro in which four people suffered serious injuries and 20 people suffered minor injuries, the Police Administration (UP) announced today.

"Due to the increased presence of the traffic police on the roads, as well as the increased controls of traffic participants, 1.580 drivers were registered and sanctioned for violations. What is still worrying is that as many as 51 drivers were excluded from traffic, deprived of their liberty and brought before the competent courts in further proceedings and decision-making. These are perpetrators of the most serious traffic offenses, such as exceeding the speed limit, driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, (including young drivers) for whom, in accordance with the Law on Road Traffic Safety and the Law on Misdemeanors, prescribed deprivation of liberty", the press release of the UP points out.

They added that they appeal to drivers to contribute to the personal safety of their fellow passengers and other road users by safe and responsible behavior in traffic.

"Traffic police officers of the Police Administration will continue to strive in the coming period to contribute to reducing the number of violations, as well as traffic accidents with the most serious consequences, through preventive and repressive activities," the announcement concludes.
