At first glance, the Slovenian model is better than the Croatian: 600 kilometers of highways brought to Slovenia EUR 294 million of revenue in 2012th Meanwhile, in Croatia on the whole motorway network of 1,250 kilometers revenue was 282 million euros (excluding VAT). That is 12 million less revenue to double over kilometers, according to official data HUKA last year.
Slovenia, which has only 605 kilometers of highways already has the most expensive vignette in the EU, the week costs 15 euros and after pressure from the European Commission. In Slovenia, the average daily traffic of light vehicles is 22,600 transits and 6400 heavy vehicles, especially trucks. Heavy vehicles pay the mileage and to 0.29 euros per kilometer depending on vehicle emission categories, while vignettes are valid only for light vehicles. On Croatian roads traffic is weaker; daily highways pass 12,300 light vehicles and trucks in 1600 on a repayment “all paid by all.”

The HAC, which manages 868 kilometers of highways, they find that the introduction of vignettes would be contrary to a long-term business strategy as the company has been putting the toll system. “And other companies have also chosen payment per kilometer, and we think that vignette would significantly disrupted their business strategy,” says the HAC, which is six months of this year generated revenues of 534.7 million kuna from tolls, 7.6 percent over the same period last year..
