Ukrainian vehicles for humanitarian purposes are exempt from tolls in Bulgaria

All types of vehicles registered in the Republic of Ukraine, which carry out humanitarian missions or transport refugees from Ukraine, are exempt from tolls - electronic vignette and toll, when using the national road network in Bulgaria. This was decided by the Council of Ministers.

The government's decision complements measures the state is taking to help Ukraine in the wake of the military emergency and the deepening humanitarian crisis. This ensures timely action to ensure security and the provision of humanitarian and medical assistance.

From the payment of vignette and toll, regardless of its category and technical characteristics, are exempt road vehicles of Ukraine as follows:

- all road vehicles, regardless of their category and technical characteristics, which use the paid road infrastructure on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, for the purpose of providing humanitarian aid;

- all road vehicles, regardless of their category and technical characteristics, constituting convoys intended for humanitarian or medical assistance.

The period in which the measure for exemption from tolls will be in force is from February 24, 2022 until the need for humanitarian and medical assistance is eliminated.
