A Ticking Time Bomb on the Streets of Kozarac!
Imagine this: a driver who has already had his vehicle confiscated for reckless driving, a repeat offender with multiple traffic violations, who recently caused a serious accident injuring six people — and he’s still driving freely! Yes, you read that right. Damir B., a driver from Kozarac, who had his vehicle taken away before, continues to endanger the lives of local residents.
What’s going on with justice?
The Prijedor police confirm that Damir B. has been stopped and fined multiple times, and his vehicle was confiscated due to fears he would continue breaking the law. Yet, he remains on the roads! The Prijedor District Prosecutor’s Office remains silent on journalists’ questions, while Kozarac residents are in panic and anger. They ask: if he is known to be dangerous, why was he released? Are we waiting for someone to get seriously hurt before action is taken?
The serious accident that shook the community
The accident happened on July 6 around 10:15 PM on the Banja Luka-Prijedor highway, in Kozarac. Four vehicles were involved: an Opel, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and a bus. The Hyundai driver suffered the most severe injuries. Besides him, the driver Damir B., a passenger, and two bus passengers were also injured, though less severely.
Damir B. was detained after the accident but was soon released, which further alarmed the locals. They now fear for their lives and demand accountability.
Legal vacuum and irresponsibility
The Prijedor Police Department states that aside from the measures already taken, there are no legal grounds for further action against Damir B. The District Prosecutor’s Office refuses to answer questions, citing the Law on Freedom of Access to Information, claiming that disclosing information could cause harm to legitimate interests of the Republic of Srpska or violate the privacy of third parties.
Kozarac residents are at their wit’s end
They clearly say: “If he is known to be dangerous, why was he released? Are we waiting for someone to die before action is taken?” This situation is a real ticking time bomb on Kozarac’s streets, and those responsible are silent, hiding behind legal exceptions.
Conclusion
While Damir B. freely drives and endangers lives, justice and the system remain blind and deaf. Kozarac residents live in fear, and the only question is when the next tragedy will happen. Will anyone take responsibility before it’s too late?
