At the “Tabanovce” border crossing, border police and customs officials conduct checks of vehicle registration plates. If any discrepancy is found, the vehicle may be confiscated, and the driver is required to remit a tax payment. This payment can be processed either through the internet or a dedicated mobile application.
The “Safety City” system plays a crucial role in these border procedures. When registration plates are read at the border, the system checks its database in milliseconds, informing the police about any past discrepancies associated with the vehicle or whether a prior transit has been successfully completed. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Macedonia, upon exiting the country, the vehicle driver is notified of any discrepancies.
The driver is then disqualified from further consideration until the required tax payment is made, and a record of this payment is issued. The Ministry specifies that any discrepancies identified in previous instances are recorded on the first day of the relevant record. These measures ensure that all vehicles passing the border undergo rigorous verification.
The combination of physical inspection by the police and the digital checks provided by the “Safety City” system aims to maintain compliance and manage necessary financial transactions related to border crossings.
