It will be a larger amount when paid this way, but citizens are encouraged to pay within that period and take advantage of the benefit within eight days,\" he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toughening penalties for illegal parking and stopping is the only effective way to solve long-standing traffic problems in Podgorica, said Kova\u010devi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kova\u010devi\u0107: Parking fines up to 150 euros, the goal is greater driver responsibility\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i5ui-hWPSXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authorities believe they will put an end to the widespread and frequent illegal parking and stopping in Podgorica with higher fines.
