Suicides in Kosovo are becoming a very concerning phenomenon, Kosovo media assessed referring to statistical data of competent institutions.
Kosovo police spokeswoman Sabrie Kamberi said that only in the first three months of this year 20 suicides and 74 suicides attempts have been registered.
Experts however said that the number of suicides is bigger from the official one because some families did not announce the death of their close relatives as suicide.
Kosovo neuropsychiatrist Farit Agani assessed that it is a consequence from lack of perspective of the young generation and experienced traumas during the war in 1999.
