    Instead of the first parking fine, merely a warning

    Bratislava, 31 March 2026 – Bratislava is accommodating those who park their car responsibly. Starting on 1 April, the first fine for unpaid parking fees in the PAAS over 12 months will be changed into a mere warning. What’s more, the era of orange tickets warning drivers that they have parked incorrectly is gradually coming to an end. The orange tickets will eventually be replaced by notifications directly to mobile phones. Lower rates for fines will also apply to passengers on Bratislava’s public transport system starting on 1 April.

    Stricter regulation of pawnshops

The operation of pawnshops without clear rules frustrates the efforts and measures that local governments have introduced to improve safety and which city and state police are also involved in. The mayor of Bratislava today presented specific solutions for this situation while also appealing to the state to start implementing these measures as soon as possible.
