What is a toll (obligation)?

Most countries in Europe charge toll fees. There is a so-called toll obligation. But what does that mean? For the use of many motorways and expressways as well as tunnels and bridges, so-called toll fees are charged. The amounts collected through the toll are invested, for example, in the road network. This ensures a smooth journey on your way to your holiday.

  • Infrastructure: construction and maintenance of roads and motorways

  • Traffic safety and traffic management: intelligent traffic systems or toll gantries

  • Environmental protection: measures to reduce emissions

How is the toll collected?

In Serbia there is no vignette requirement. Instead, a distance-based toll is charged on all motorways (exception: motorways near Belgrade) and expressways. The amount of the fee depends on the distance travelled and the vehicle class.
