The main topic of the article concerns the issue of driving under the influence of alcohol and psychoactive substances in Serbia, with a special focus on the international action by the Roadpol network of European traffic police, which will be conducted from June 16 to 22. In the first five months of this year, the police excluded more than 20 drivers from traffic due to driving under the influence of alcohol, and nearly 4,000 drivers were detained for sobering up. The action includes a 24-hour marathon of traffic controls using breathalyzers and devices to detect psychoactive substances. The Ministry of Internal Affairs appeals to citizens not to drive if they have consumed alcohol, to contribute responsibly to traffic safety.
