A look at the bystander effect and whether the law can increase interventions (Kosovo 2.0)

Almost two weeks ago, a very unfortunate event happened in the city of Gjilan/Gnjilane. An elderly man passed away as a result of his weak health, high temperatures and lack of people willing to stop and help him.

The tragedy was afterwards followed by anger, despair and outbursts that took place mainly on social media. Nevertheless it was obvious that people were affected by this event and as such the tragedy made a social impact and gathered much attention. The justice system also got involved in the equation due to the stipulations made in Kosovo’s Criminal Code.
