Let's remind, the fuel charge began to be charged from April 16, 2015. The funds were used to finance the construction of the Bar-Bolyar road section and sports. 5 euro cents for the road, 2 for the sport.

Between May 27 and October 7, 2015, 8.23 ​​million euros were collected.

The decision of the Constitutional Court states that from the moment of its announcement, that is, on October 14, 2015, all fuel stations in Montenegro should stop charging fuel.
