THIS DATE IS CRUCIAL FOR REMOVING WINTER TIRES: Neighbors have a 130-euro fine, BE CAREFUL
Winter tires are mandatory until April 1st according to our Road Traffic Safety Law (ZOBS), but you are not in violation even if you are currently driving with summer tires, given that winter tires are mandatory only if there is snow and ice on the road.
TL;DR
- Winter tires are mandatory until April 1st in Serbia, only if snow or ice is present.
- Croatia requires winter tires until April 15th on designated routes and year-round if snow or ice is present, regardless of calendar date.
- Failure to comply with Croatian winter tire laws can result in a 130 euro fine and potential traffic exclusion.
- Legal entities face even higher penalties in Croatia for non-compliance, ranging from 660 to 1,990 euros.
- Summer tire prices in Serbia vary, with smaller dimensions costing between 3,800 to 6,500 dinars and premium brands up to 25,000 dinars.
