Get your wallets ready because from July 4th, toll prices in Serbia are going up by an average of 4.2%! Yes, you read that right — driving from Belgrade to the south of the country will cost you nearly 2000 dinars. And if you’re planning a trip to Zlatibor, expect to pay 585 dinars just for the toll.
But wait, there’s a silver lining — TAG devices! These little electronic gadgets allow contactless toll payments and cut down waiting times at toll booths. Just stick the device on your windshield and forget about the hassle of cash or cards.
Serbia is slowly catching up with modern trends — TAG devices already work in North Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, and soon in the Republika Srpska. So if you thought tolls were just a boring obligation, now there’s at least some relief.
But let’s get back to the painful part — the price hike! Inflation is to blame, they say, so the government had to raise toll fees to keep up with rising costs. But is a 4.2% increase really justified? And why now?
The detailed price list shows drivers on the Belgrade to Preševo route will pay about 2000 dinars, while the trip to Zlatibor will cost 585 dinars. If you’re planning a trip, better brace yourself for these new expenses.
And don’t forget, TAG devices offer discounts, so if you have one, you might save a bit. But is it enough to soften the blow to your wallet?
Either way, get ready for more expensive trips and longer waits if you don’t have a TAG. And if you do, enjoy the fast lane and less stress.
What do you think about these hikes? Another hit on drivers or the price of modernization? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for and who’s against!
