Quiet Night in Belgrade? Well, Almost!
Last night, Belgrade experienced one of those nights that sounds like a dream for anyone tired of sirens and street chaos. The emergency services announced that there were zero traffic accidents! Yes, you read that right – ZERO! So much for Belgrade being a city that never sleeps, at least when it comes to incidents.
But before you start celebrating, let’s dig a little deeper. The on-duty teams intervened 12 times in public places. Who needed help? Mostly chronic patients, which isn’t surprising. So, even though there were no crashes, people still suffered and needed assistance – just not because of car collisions.
What’s hiding behind the numbers?
No traffic accidents, but that doesn’t mean the night was problem-free. Emergency services were busy with people whose health was compromised for other reasons. And while Belgrade can boast about this statistic, the question remains how much it truly reflects safety on the streets.
Why does this matter?
Because this statistic makes us think about what a “quiet night” really means. Is it just the absence of traffic accidents or something more? Are people truly safe or just relieved they didn’t get into a crash?
And one more thing…
While we focus on these “quiet” nights, the world around us is burning – from scorching heatwaves to political tensions. But at least in Belgrade, at least last night, there was no chaos on the streets. Maybe it’s a sign things can get better, or maybe just a lucky coincidence.
If you thought this was the end of the story, think again! How do you see these numbers? Is Belgrade really quiet or is the statistic lying? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s the optimist and who’s the realist in this story!
