During compulsory conscription, we trained attendees in traffic behavior, and that tradition is continued today. Every year, we reward our members who are most careful in traffic and commit least or no traffic offenses-as, Zeljko Rankovic, head of the Department of Transport and Transport Equipment, of the General Logistics Department, Material Resources Sector. Participants pointed out that every day more than 3,500 people are killed, or 1.3 million per year. Number of accidents in Serbia has been reduced since new Law on Traffic has entered into force.
