Fines That Sting: Serb Pays 3,500 Euros for Traffic Violations in Budva!
Budva, Montenegro – Think you can get away with traffic violations in Montenegro? Think again! Two Serbian nationals were slapped with fines they won’t forget – a whopping total of 5,000 euros for four traffic offenses.
One of them, 23-year-old S. Dž., was sentenced in a fast-track procedure to a hefty fine of 3,500 euros. The incident happened on June 24, after he committed two traffic violations the previous evening in Ulcinj. But wait, there’s more – when police stopped him, he tried to flee! The police quickly caught up and took him in for further processing. He was also convicted for obstructing police officers in the performance of their duties.
Judge Anka Rašović also imposed a six-month driving ban on him within Montenegro. The fine was paid immediately upon sentencing.
On the same day, 26-year-old Belgrade resident N. O. was fined 1,500 euros for a more serious traffic violation committed the previous evening in Ulcinj. His fine was also paid immediately, and he was banned from driving in Montenegro for the next four months.
Marko Đukanović, president of the misdemeanor court in Budva, made it clear that traffic violations will not be tolerated and that laws will be strictly enforced. These fines send a clear message to anyone thinking they can break the rules and get away with it.
Why are the fines so steep?
Montenegro is known for strict enforcement of traffic laws, especially in tourist hotspots like Budva and Ulcinj, where safety is paramount. Attempts to flee from police and obstructing officials only worsen the situation and increase penalties.
What does this mean for Serbian drivers?
If you plan to drive in Montenegro, be prepared for rigorous checks and heavy fines. Not only can you face large monetary penalties, but you may also be banned from driving for extended periods. This is a serious warning that traffic rules must be respected.
Conclusion: Fines That Sting and a Lesson for All!
These two cases are just the tip of the iceberg. Traffic rules exist to protect us, and those who break them pay a steep price. If you think driving is a carefree game, think again – fines of several thousand euros and driving bans are no joke.
So, dear readers, what do you think about these fines? Are they too harsh, or is it time traffic violations are taken seriously? Drop a comment, maybe your story will change someone’s view on driving in Montenegro!
