“People suffering from heart and lung diseases, pregnant women, children, and the elderly should avoid any outdoor activities. Everyone else should avoid prolonged outdoor exposure,” according to the organization Ecoakcija, which gathers data on air quality in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s cities.
Prishtina ranks 19th, although it was 12th in the early morning hours.
