On the other hand, the number of thefts decreased slightly by 5%, and the number of robberies decreased by about 14%. The downward trend in the number of events affecting road safety is also maintained. The figures have improved by several percentages both in terms of serious accidents, as well as the number of dead and seriously injured people.
