From 1 January 2018, the Republic of Serbia introduces an "open system" to pay tolls for vehicles passing through the newly discovered stretch of the motorway between the cities of Dimitrovgrad and Nis.

This means that the fee will be paid only by cars coming from Bulgaria and traveling to Nis, as well as in the opposite direction.

This was done on the order of the Prosecution, a statement said.
