If you pay the fine within ten days, it is reduced by 50%

If the police have already fined you for a traffic violation, it is better to pay the fine within ten days, because in that case you pay only 50% of the total fine amount. And, if you do not pay the imposed fine on time, i.e., within ten days, an additional 20 KM will be added to the fine.

This law has already entered into force in the Federation, and the facsimile of the violation notice sent to the Patria agency's editorial office by a reader is proof that it is functioning in practice. He was fined by the Sarajevo police for illegal parking in the municipality of Novo Sarajevo. However, he paid the fine for illegal parking of vehicles, which amounts to 40 KM, 20 KM because he paid within ten days. Had he paid the imposed fine after the ten-day period expired, the fine would have increased to 60 KM.

The new Law on Misdemeanors in the Federation entered into force on August 14 last year, and soon after it began to be applied in practice.
