Cheerfully and lively

The beginning of a new cycle of a campaign ‘Pupils ask you – slow down by the school’ has been marked today by performing a play for the first graders of ‘Kralj Petar Prvi’ primary school.

JKP ‘Parking Servis’ entertainer and a traffic policeman have in a vivid way interpreted traffic rules to the youngsters so as to make their journey to school and back as safe as possible. The pupils have taken an active part in a play and they have learned how to cross the street safely as well as what are the consequences of unsafe conduct in traffic.

Following the forty minute play, the first graders were greeted by JKP ‘Parking Servis’ CEO Boban Kovacevic, who expressed his happiness about the fact that the little ones had shown good knowledge of the basic rules. He was pleasantly surprised when the first graders started on their own singing a song, which had marked the campaign.

In addition to basic knowledge about traffic rules all 15.715 first graders, who have started school in Belgrade this year, will get fluorescent vest which will make them more conspicuous. By wearing those vests the pupils will send the clear message that they also participate in traffic and that the drivers should take due care.

‘The campaign has included Belgrade primary schools at 17 city municipalites. In contrast to the last year’s campaign, when we visited the first graders of the suburban municipalities in the autumn term and the pupils of the city municipalities in the spring term, this year both suburban and city municipalities will be alternately visisted. We are beginning with Stari grad municipality which is followed by Barajevo and Rakovica municipalities’, Miljan Vojinovic, JKP ‘Parking Servis’ entertainer has said.

The campaign ‘Pupils ask you – slow down by the school’ has been supported by Belgrade Council, Department of Education, Department of Traffic and Ministry of Interior – Belgrade Traffic Police Office.
