Fines for traffic violations in Bulgaria in 2019
To begin with, I would like to note that in general, problems with road inspectors on Bulgarian highways arise infrequently. The guards, with rare exceptions, behave calmly, sometimes they can let the driver go without a fine, giving a warning, and also, often, treat ladies driving condescendingly. However, do not forget that there are cameras installed on the highways that detect violations of the speed limit and the presence of an unpaid vinet tax. In addition, drivers should keep in mind that since 2019, fines for non-compliance with traffic rules have increased slightly.

Electronic vignette in Bulgaria
With the advent of the new year, modern rules for issuing and paying for vignettes in Bulgaria came into force. It should be noted that now there is no need to stick a paper sticker on the windshield of the car. When checked by road inspectors, drivers are not required to present a document confirming the purchased electronic vignette, since payment data is now available online. Prices for e-vinettes remain unchanged for all vehicles; in some cases, it is necessary to pay a percentage to the intermediary seller.

Japanese wedding in the mountains of Bulgaria
Hiroshi and Shiori from Tokyo, Japan traveled thousands of kilometers to hold their wedding ceremony in the mountains of Bulgaria. Lake Okoto, which the lovers chose, is located a few kilometers away along a mountain path from the Vihren hut; the nearest town is Bansko. Visiting hot springs is very popular in Japan, so after descending from the mountains, Hiroshi and Shiori will most likely go to one of the local SPA hotels.
