  3. Trend of the actual and expected fatality coefficient in traffic for 2004 – 2010 (on 100 000 inhabitants)

  4. STATISTIČKI POKAZATELJI • Total number of road accidents 44 394 or 11,9% less than in 2009. • Total number of road accidents with casualties is 13 272 or 15,6% less than in 2009. • 426 deaths of road users or 22,3% less than in 2009. • 18 333 injured persons or 16,4% less than in 2009 (21 931).

  5. NATIONAL ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAMME • Since 1994 • The Government of the Republic of Croatia appoints the Ministry of the Interior as holder • Working group leads a NRTSP and consists members from: Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the Ministry of Justice, Croatian Autoclub, Centre for vehicles of Croatia, Croatian Roads and Croatian Insurance Office • Currently, the NRTSP for the period 2006 to 2010 is in force • Multiform activities

  6. Following a series of individual actions by the subjects responsible for road traffic safety and the achievement of specific short-term results, the conclusion has been reached that no long-term goals can be accomplished without a systematic and continuous implementation of measures. • Subsequently, the Ministry of the Interior proposed putting into force the National Road Traffic Safety Programme. Aware of the legitimacy of its implementation, the Government of the Republic of Croatia accepted the National Road Traffic Safety Programme at its session held on 16 June 1994. • Today a continuation of the programme’s implementation is justified not only by the positive results accomplished so far, but also by the commitment of the Republic of Croatia to accept, in the beginning of negotiations on its accession to the European Union, both the directives and the guidelines binding Member States to improve road traffic safety.

  7. RESULTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL PROGRAMME • In the period from the acceptance of the National Programme’s implementation until today a series of changes in road traffic in the Republic of Croatia have occurred. It is certainly important to note that the situation of road traffic safety in Croatia has significantly improved. • The drop from 1360 fatalities in 1989 to 426 fatalities in 2010, with an extremely high increase in the number of vehicles, drivers and traffic routes, is a very respectable fact. • 10 fatalities per hundred thousand inhabitants in 2010 was our goal in National Proramme from 2006 to 2010 and it has achieved.
