Before its independence, Kosovo is an autonomous province under Serbia, which was part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Kosovo has a long history of conflicts since the occupation of Turkish Ottoman Empire in Balkan Peninsula area until the recent one was the Kosova War in 1998 – 1999. As a post-conflict society, Prishtina is suffering from several urban challenges. One of these challenges is road safety issue indicated by increasing the number of traffic accidents in Prishtina and even nationwide. National government considered this situation as unusual for European countries. This study aimed to answer a research question on how the road safety is perceived from two main perspectives, which are road users (pedestrians and cyclists) and stakeholders in the producer’s level of road safety strategy in Prishtina. This study was conducted in urban zone of Prishtina, which is also the case study, with the regards to the increasing number of traffic accidents, which involve pedestrians and cyclists, as the vulnerable road users.

  • Kosovo Introduction
    KOSOVO INTRODUCTION Like Albania, Kosovar history is believed to date to Illyria in the 4th Century BC and to the Roman Empire. In the 9th to early 11th centuries, the Kosovo region was ruled by Bulgaria. From 1389 to the late 19th century, the region came under Ottoman rule; in the early 20th century, Kosovo was ruled by Serbia. In 1946, Kosovo became part of the Yugoslav federation. During the 1990’s, Kosovo sought independence from Serbia, with brutal results, including mistreatment of ethnic Albanians; during the 2000’s, the United Nations attempted to secure Kosovar independence, which is supported by Albania and rejected by Serbia. At this time, although technically still a part of Serbia, Kosovo is an international protectorate administered by the United Nations. Kosovo, a land-locked area, is bordered clockwise by Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, and Montenegro. The official name is the Republic of Kosovo (Kosova / Kosovë), with its capital at Pristina (Prishtina / Prishtinë). Population estimates vary from 1.8 to 2.2 million. With independence from Serbia declared on February 17, 2008, the Kosovar government is a parliamentary republic. Religious affliations are Muslim, Albanian Orthodox, and Roman Catholic; ethnic populations are Albanian, 88%; Serbs, 7%; and 5% other including Bosnian, Gorani, Roma / Gypsy, Ashkali, Egyptian, and Turkish. Although the official languages are Albanian and Serbian, Bosnian and Turkish are official in those municipalities with substantial minority populations; in addtion, English and German are also spoken. Literacy rates vary from 92% to 98% for men and 88% to 90% for women.

Measures taken include restricting movement and meetings, suspending the work of schools and universities, suspending the majority of business activities, and urban and interurban transport. These measures have affected all municipalities, including those that have not yet identified any COVID-19 cases. As of May 19, 2020, 989 COVID-19 cases were registered in Kosovo, in 31 municipalities. The effects of this situation were felt both in the public and private sectors. In the public sector, it limited the possibility of public investments, provision of public and administrative services, the ability of municipalities to undertake public procurement procedures, and it caused several cancellations of meetings of municipal collective bodies, and those of public consultations. Whereas, in the private sector, the most affected are the construction, accommodation, gastronomy, textile and most of the service sectors. The drop in municipal revenues in all municipalities, during the second half of March and in April ranged between 45% and 90%.
