MPs to vote on ending annual increases in motorway vignette prices

Czech MPs are due to vote on Wednesday on ending automatic annual increases in motorway vignette prices. Under the proposed change, the price of an annual vignette would remain at this year’s CZK 2,570 in the coming years, while shorter-term rates would also remain unchanged. MPs are also expected to consider making one-day vignettes valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase rather than only until midnight. Other legislation on the agenda includes changes to pension savings, higher pensions for older retirees and wider public access to transport information.
