Charges filed for a traffic accident that killed Frosina Kulakova

After a fully investigated investigation, the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office Skopje filed an indictment against a person charged with – serious offenses against the safety of the people and the property in the traffic referred to in Article 300 paragraph 2 in relation to Article 297 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.

Within two months of the tragic incident, the competent public prosecutor collected all the evidence and forensics indicating that the defendant committed this most serious crime against traffic safety for which a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years was halted.

-According to the evidence, on January 29, 15 minutes before midnight, the defendant, without having to hold a driver’s license, was driving a « Peugeot 207 » passenger vehicle owned by his father. He did not adhere to the regulations and thus consciously endangered the lives of people. He was driven by the car under the influence of alcohol, ie 0.80 promil alcohol in blood, but also at 91 km/h, which is almost twice the permissible. When he came to a marked pedestrian crossing at the intersection between the Partizanski Odredi Boulevard and the November 29th Street, he continued the movement of a red light on the traffic light that signaled a ban on passing and the front left of the vehicle he was driving in the body of pedestrian. From the force of the impact, the injured party rose into the air and hit a traffic light, placed on the separated pedestrian stand, and sustained serious bodily injuries, which died on the spot – the prosecution said.

He adds that in the present case there are circumstances that justify the fear of the danger of escape and the established fear of repeating the crime. In addition, given the age of the defendant, the facility of protection, the severity and severity of the crime and other facts, the public prosecutor estimated that the legal grounds were still in detention, so the court demanded that the detention measure be extended.
