Telecommunications company m:tel launched its annual road safety campaign, ‘Leave your phone while driving’, in late August. The initiative, conducted in partnership with the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Republika Srpska and other local agencies, aims to combat driver inattention. Data cited from the Republika Srpska Traffic Safety Agency indicates that mobile phone use is a primary factor in the approximately 25 percent of traffic accidents caused by distraction.

By late September, the company began concluding the advertising phase of the campaign, which utilized billboards, posters, and media slots. While the specific promotional phase is transitioning to other topics, m:tel stated that the core message of the initiative has no expiration date.
