The article discusses changes to the general procedural law governing traffic violations in Slovenia. The new regulations increase the upper limit for mandatory penalty notices from €663.61 to €1,000, while the maximum fine payable on the spot rises from €265.45 to €390. Police will now have more flexibility to issue warnings instead of fines for minor offenses carrying penalties up to €300, compared to the previous limit of €132.72. Offenders who do not contest the fine can pay two-thirds of the amount, and if payment is made at the scene under police supervision, they can pay half the prescribed amount. The law applies to a wide range of offenses including traffic violations, breaches of public order, municipal decrees, and issues related to trade, hospitality, work, taxes, customs, and environmental protection. Specific traffic violation fines are determined by the Road Safety Act, which already prescribes fines ranging from €1,320 to €2,650 for severe offenses such as driving under the influence or excessive speeding, along with potential jail time and driving bans.

In Croatia, fines for traffic violations and other offenses are increasing under new regulations. The maximum fine that can be issued through a mandatory penalty notice has risen from €663.61 to €1,000, while the highest amount payable on the spot at the time of the offense has increased from €265.45 to €390. Police will now have more flexibility to issue written or verbal warnings instead of fines for minor infractions carrying penalties up to €300. Previously, warnings were limited to cases where the fine was below €132.72. Offenders who do not contest the penalty notice can still pay two-thirds of the imposed fine, and if payment is made on-site, such as during police supervision, they can pay half the prescribed amount. The law applies to a wide range of offenses, including traffic violations, breaches of public order, municipal decrees, and issues related to trade, hospitality, work, taxes, customs, environment, and safety.
