At a ceremony where prizes were presented to companies and individuals that have helped develop the insurance industry during the previous year, Dacic said that the death toll in road accidents has been reduced by 19%.
Parallel to the Law on road safety, the Law on obligatory insurance was also enforced, Dacic recalled, noting that only with the implementation of both laws can a strategy for protecting lives of people in the traffic be complete.
These two laws are linked and they protect the ultimate value, and that is human life, Dacic observed.
The Law on obligatory insurance takes care that we do not lose the values we create every day, such as our homes, property and crops, he explained.
Before the new Law on road safety was put into force, there were 64,898 road accidents in one year, while after its enforcement this number dropped by around 17,000.
This data gave a new impetus to the Ministry to keep enforcing this law rigorously and without compromise as this is the best way to protect lives, Dacic concluded.
