The Bulgarian traffic police has successfully increased the collection of traffic fines 8 times. Only until recently the total amount of the collected fines was 5 million levs (2,5 million Euros) per annum, while at the moments it is 4 million levs ( 2 million Euros) per month. The problem with foreigners driving through Bulgaria remains. At the moment they have to pay their fines through the banks and if they are fined after 5 p.m. or during the weekend they leave the country without paying. To counter act the traffic police will introduce new fine certificates both in English and in Bulgarian be the end of the year and the foreigners will have to pay on the spot.
