On the promenade near Studenchishta in Ohrid, a paraglider conducting a commercial tourist flight descended dangerously low over the pedestrian pathway - struck a street lamppost and landed only meters from an elderly couple. Moments earlier, a mother and child narrowly avoided the same fate. Video filmed by a local portal instantly went viral.

No one was injured. But that is luck, not a system. Ohrid, pulled deeper into a summer tourist season that begins earlier every year, has no mechanism preventing this situation. Paragliders fly over tourist zones - that is not new. What is new is that someone filmed it.

Social media discussion is lively: "These paragliders need to land differently," "There is no regulation," "This is why tourists don't come back." Slightly exaggerated - tourists do come. But the concern is real. One incident involving an injured pedestrian on the Ohrid waterfront - and the damage to the tourism image would last years.

The ministries responsible for aviation and tourism have yet to comment. This is not a surprise.
