The price of motorway vignette stickers in Bulgaria will rise from the start of next year, the government has decided.

Motor vehicles travelling on Bulgaria’s motorways and first-class roads must have a vignette sticker attached to the windshield. The current price of the stickers was set in 2008 and hasn’t been changed since then.

The price of one-week vignettes for passenger cars will rise to BGN 15 from BGN 10, one-week stickers will cost BGN 30, an increase from BGN 25 now, while one-year vignettes will cost BGN 97 versus BGN 67 now.

Vignette stickers for buses and trucks will also have higher prices, regional development minister Lilyana Pavlova announced at a news conference on Wednesday.
