Bulgaria is planning a significant increase in road tolls for vehicles, set to take effect on August 1, 2026. A draft decision released by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works proposes a 30% rise in vignette fees. The increase will apply to vehicles under a certain weight, details of which were not specified in the initial report. The proposal is currently undergoing public consultation. News outlets like Novinite reported on the planned changes, citing the Ministry’s announcement. This adjustment aims to increase revenue from road usage, though the specific impact on drivers remains to be seen. The changes are expected to affect both Bulgarian residents and foreign drivers utilizing the country’s road network.
