Representatives of non-governmental organizations held a silent protest near the Governmental Administration building. The main slogan was “Road security should become a priority of the country”.

According to the participants, low coordination among responsible bodies on road security was the main problem in Georgia.

They urged for the establishment of a special commission that would coordinate among the MIA, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure and demanded a regular technical inspection of vehicles belonging to tourist agencies.

The protest was organized regarding the August 23 Shatili road accident.
