From June 16 to 22, 34 European countries, members of the Roadpol network, will conduct an international intensified traffic control operation aimed at detecting drivers under the influence of alcohol and psychoactive substances. The operation includes a 24-hour “alcohol and drugs marathon” on June 20, during which all available breathalyzers will be used for continuous checks. The Ministry of Internal Affairs urges drivers not to operate vehicles after consuming alcohol, emphasizing that every mistake on the road can have lasting consequences. In the first five months of this year, traffic police have removed more than 20 drivers from the road for driving under the influence of alcohol and psychoactive substances. The goal of the operation is to increase traffic safety and reduce the number of accidents caused by driving under the influence.
