NEWS! 01.07.2008. VIGNETTES IN SLOVENIA: As You probably know, Slovenia has started to charge expensive vignettes, despite the interdiction of European Union. Price for 1 year is 55,00 EUR and price for 6 months is 35,00 EUR. The 22 km of highway used to cost 1.50 EUR with return, from 01.07.2008. it will cost 35 EUR.
European automobile associations reckon that 35 EUR for 22 kilometres of highways is inconsistent with EU principles. The EAC believes that the new toll system in Slovenia quite simply "rips off" tourists travelling through Slovenia to the south.
Toll dodgers will be fined of between 300-800 EUR. By way of comparison, the fine in Austria is 120 EUR.
To avoid paying vignettes for few kilometres of highway, we will help you find the routes to come to Croatia:
