Basha publishes report on fatal accident on the “Dr. Ibrahim Rugova” highway: The cause was not the condition of the road

Acting Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Dimal Basha has reacted to the tragic accident that occurred on June 14 on the “Dr. Ibrahim Rugova” Highway, in which a female citizen lost her life, announcing that the official report by the Kosovo Police has clarified the circumstances of the case.

Initially, Basha expressed his condolences to the victim’s family and relatives, and then commented on the public claims that had been made about the causes of the accident.

“Dear citizens, the tragic accident of June 14 on the ‘Dr. Ibrahim Rugova’ Highway, in which a female citizen lost her life, deeply affected us all. Once again, I express my deepest condolences to her family and relatives,” Basha wrote.

He stressed that, according to the official report of the Kosovo Police, the incident occurred as a result of the driver losing control of the vehicle.

“Today, the official report of the Kosovo Police shows that, based on professional investigations, the driver lost control of the car, first hitting the road signage and then the side protective barriers,” he said.

According to Basha, the report’s conclusions state that the road had no impact on causing the accident and that traffic was unobstructed.

“The report finds that both traffic lanes were open for movement and that the condition of the road did not contribute to causing the accident. These are official findings of the competent authorities,” he added.

Basha also criticized public statements that, according to him, sought to use this event for political gain.

“Let this be a lesson for everyone that such tragedies should not be used for political propaganda,” Basha said.

In the end, he once again repeated his condolences to the victim’s family.
