Slovakia's New Toll System Delayed Until Next Year Despite State Payment

Slovakia's new electronic toll system will not be operational before the beginning of next year, despite the state having already paid the costs for building the system. The delay represents a setback for the modernization of Slovakia's highway toll collection, which currently relies on paper vignettes for passenger cars and an older electronic system for trucks. The postponement means drivers will continue using the existing system through the remainder of this year, while the new infrastructure sits unused despite the financial investment already made by the government.
