Fortunately, there were no fatalities in these accidents, but as many as 60 people were injured.

Because of the drastic increase in the intensity of traffic on the state roads, as well as the heatwave, the Ministry of Interior (MUP) issued an urgent appeal to all drivers.

Motorcyclists most at risk: "Make yourselves visible at night!"

The Traffic Police Administration particularly stressed that during the summer, the number of two-wheelers on the roads drastically increases, which is why this is the most critical part of the year for motorcyclists and cyclists.

"We appeal to all participants in traffic to be extra careful, show mutual respect and responsible behavior. Motorcycle drivers must adjust their speed to the conditions on the road. High temperatures contribute to a faster onset of fatigue and a drop in concentration, which drastically increases the risk of an accident. Make yourselves visible, especially at night," the MUP warned.

"Reduce speed in populated areas and be rested"

As traffic on all key national roads has increased due to the tourist season, the police advise maximum caution, patience and strict compliance with regulations.

Drivers are advised to go on the road only when they are rested, as well as to reduce speed in populated areas, and on state roads that pass through settlements. This is crucial in order to see other participants in traffic in time and react in a timely manner.

"From the Traffic Police Administration, we wish you a pleasant day and safe participation in traffic!", concludes the statement.
