Before you drive

Vignette and tolls
There is no vignette. Motorways charge a toll by distance and vehicle class, with a ticket taken on entry; pay at the exit in cash (convertible marks, or euro banknotes only), by card or with an ENP electronic tag.

Rules and prices change. Check the official site before you travel.

BIH

Country code

Cars registered here show the country code BIH. Abroad, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic asks for it at the rear of the car: on a white oval sticker, or as part of the plate. A car from abroad shows its own country code at the rear in the same way.

Reading the plates

Plates carry no regional code, so the letters and numbers do not tell where a car is from.
