Belgrade was rocked last night by a horrific traffic accident that shook the city. At Trošarina, on the Boulevard of Liberation, around 11:43 PM, a 20-year-old young man was seriously injured in a crash that caused chaos on the streets. Emergency services responded to over 30 calls during the night, with chronic heart patients being the most frequent callers, putting extra strain on the healthcare system. This accident is not just another statistic — it’s a wake-up call for all of us to think about road safety.
As Belgrade battles the aftermath of extreme heatwaves and health issues, traffic incidents like the one at Trošarina only make things worse. Emergency teams were stretched to their limits, and the young man’s severe injuries remind us how crucial it is to obey traffic rules and stay alert. Streets are not playgrounds, and carelessness can have deadly consequences.
What’s even more alarming is that violence and accidents in Belgrade show no signs of slowing down. Every day brings new tragedies, and while authorities and police claim to be ready for future challenges, is that really enough? As protests die down, street violence continues, leaving citizens increasingly worried about their safety.
This accident at Trošarina is just the tip of the iceberg of problems facing Belgrade. From pollution and health issues caused by heatwaves to daily violence and accidents — the city is on edge.
