02 March 2010 | By Nidzara Ahmetasevic

Pristina _ There appears to be no respite in the high number of suicides in Kosovo, with 25 cases registered in the first six months of this year, the Kosovo Police says.

In a press release issued on Wednesday, the police said 25 people have committed suicide between January and July 2008, while another 105 people have attempted to take their life.

According to police statistics, most of the suicides happened in the Pristina region, while most of the victims are over 40 years old.

More than 400 suicides have been recorded in Kosovo between 2000 and 2007, of a population of 2 million.

This number has enormously increased since the 1998-1999 conflict.

Experts warn that economic stagnation is the source of most people’s depression.

According to the World Bank’s Poverty Assessment, some 35 percent of Kosovo’s population are “poor”, meaning they live on less than €1.42 per day.

Some 15 percent of the population live below the extreme poverty line of €0.93 per day.
