Yesterday, we received very sad news from the United Kingdom. At first, we feared it might be a mistake or spam. Sadly, this is not the case.
Our sister organisation and one of the founding members of FEVR, RoadPeace, has announced that it will be closing its operations.

Wishing you and your loved ones health, peace, and hope for a safer year ahead.

On my own behalf and on behalf of FEVR, I extend heartfelt thanks to you, your loved ones, and my friends at PAT PAT for all the good you have done for all of us living with the consequences of road traffic crashes. I express my sincere condolences on the loss of such an extraordinary role model, humanist, human being, and friend.

During a two-day visit to Slovenia at the invitation of Minister of Infrastructure Alenka Bratušek, UN Special Envoy for Road Safety Jean Todt also visited the Safe Mobility Park, where FEVR President Robert Šťaba welcomed them to this new home for road victim support and for road safety prevention.

This year, once again, the three Federations and Partnerships — FEVR, IRVP, and FICVI — have united to amplify the global voice of road victims and their bereaved families. Building on last year’s strong collaboration, we continue to stand together and invite you to join us in showing your support and solidarity by sharing and promoting this year’s campaign materials.

The Safe Mobility Park was officially opened in Ljubljana, Slovenia, marking a historic moment for road safety in Europe. This unique project, the first of its kind in Slovenia and the wider region, combines psychosocial support for road traffic victims with education on safe and sustainable mobility for all generations.

The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has published its 19th Annual Road Safety Performance Index (PIN) Report, warning that the EU is falling significantly short of its 2030 goal to halve road deaths and serious injuries based on 2019 levels. In 2024 alone, 20,017 people lost their lives on EU roads – a decrease of only 2% compared to 2023. This pace is far below the necessary annual reduction of 6.1% required to stay on track toward the 2030 target.

On Monday, 19 May 2025, the FEVR General Assembly was held online.
The FEVR Board committed to an ambitious renewal – refreshing our vision, mission, activities, and programme areas, while also expanding our network with new members.

On April 3-4, at the invitation of the Małopolska Road Safety Council, over 40 road traffic safety experts from all over Europe, members of ETSC went to Krakow.

ETSC and a coalition of prominent European organisations, icluding FEVR, has written to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, urging her to reject the mutual recognition of US vehicle safety and environmental standards in any upcoming trade negotiations with the United States.
