Toll stickers to be sold only in BGN, EUR

The Bulgarian government passed amendments to the Regulation on toll tax collection.
Vignette fees and fees for usage of the Republican road network will be paid only in euro and Bulgarian levs. Until now, drivers were allowed to pay fees and buy toll stickers with US dollars, too but this will be no longer allowed.
The amendments to the regulation will allow unification of the practices and regulations in the field of toll taxes collected within the country and at the border checkpoint areas.
The new measures will speed up the admission regime at the border checkpoints, assist for the optimization of the customs control, speed up administrative processing and secure independence from the variable value of the US dollar.
The changes will come into force one month after their publishing in the State Gazette.

That should make life much easier for everyone
