Zagrebparking has circumvented the Constitutional Court’s decision

It is not a fine, but a daily ticket! By purchasing a new daily ticket, drivers will be able to park their vehicle for 24 hours, and if they do not pay, they will not receive a fine from the guys in fluorescent suits, as they did before, writes the portal hrt.hr

When you arrive at the parking lot, you practically do not have to buy anything; by that very act, our authorized person will issue that daily ticket, as it is assumed that you want to stay the whole day, explained the director of Zagrebparking, Mate Kraljević.

That fine, or daily ticket, either way – must be paid within eight days. Although this still needs to be discussed in the assembly – HTV learns that the price in the first, red zone should be 250 kuna, in the second, yellow – 150, and 80 kuna in the third, green zone. Half-hour, hourly, and multi-hour tickets will also remain in use, and for non-renewal, a daily ticket will again be issued! The city administration says they have fully complied with the Constitutional Court’s decision, which ruled that fines must be proportional to parking prices.

We sought assistance from the Faculty of Law, where experts got involved and suggested that this is the best solution, i.e., that it is in accordance with the Constitutional Court, said Davor Jelavić, head of the City Office for Spatial Planning, City Construction, Building, Communal Affairs, and Traffic. In the other ten cities, they have also opted for the same or a similar model. Although everyone is probably very happy that they outsmarted the Constitutional Court, we doubt that drivers will be satisfied with the new, yet actually unchanged system of fine collection on the first day of 2010.  (www.hrt.hr)
