the safety in public tra c, types of o enses and particularly, the research paper analyzes the

comparative aspect of Western Balkan countries legislation with the legislation of the Republic

of Kosovo.The paper aims to a ain these objectives:

• Make a detailed elaboration of the Criminal Code of Kosovo with a notable view of the

Introduction

The fast development of road tra c or tra c as a whole requires many measures that

are taken with the objective of reinforcing tra c safety. But despite this, accidents

happen every day in tra c, which not only are causing great material damage, but

also human being injuries, including many deaths. Due to the theoretical aspect of

this issue it can be said that the investigation of criminal o enses against the safety

of public tra c in the post-war period and at the time in Kosovo is undergoing a

sensitive stage of transition of particular importance because the cases of these

criminal o enses are numerous and the phenomenon is widespread.

Therefore, this study is thought to have a precious and multiple theoretical value as

to the expansion and deepening of knowledge about the general and special factors

a ecting the criminal o enses against the safety of public tra c. In this paper I will

analyze how the Western Balkan countries deal with o enses against tra c safety,

the Albanian Legislation, the Macedonian Legislation, the Montenegrin Legislation,

Bosnia's Legislation, Croatia's Legislation, Serbia's Legislation, with emphasis on

specifi c criminal o enses against tra c safety which will be elaborated, analyzed,

and be treated in a comparative manner with Kosovo’s legislation.
