Next week in Serbia, an international action of increased traffic control will be conducted, aimed at detecting drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The action is part of the European traffic police network Roadpol, involving the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia and 33 other European countries. During the action, breathalyzers and other devices for detecting psychoactive substances will be used. In the first five months of this year, traffic police have removed from traffic more than 20 drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol, as well as drivers under the influence of drugs. The goal of the action is to increase traffic safety and reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the public health and safety aspects of the increased controls, highlighting the dangers of drunk and drugged driving and the need for preventive measures. They may also discuss the social impact of traffic accidents and advocate for more comprehensive education and rehabilitation programs for offenders.
Center: Center-leaning sources report the facts of the international action and its scope, focusing on the cooperation between European countries and the technical means used for detection. They present statistics and official statements from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, aiming to inform the public about the upcoming controls and their purpose without strong editorializing.
Right: Right-leaning media might stress law enforcement and the importance of strict penalties for offenders to maintain order and safety on the roads. They may also highlight the responsibility of individual drivers and support the government’s efforts to crack down on illegal behavior, possibly framing it as part of broader efforts to uphold law and order.
