Pazardzhik Shortens Deadlines for Removing Abandoned Vehicles

The Pazardzhik Municipal Council approved a change to a local ordinance, shortening the deadline to determine a motor vehicle as no longer in use. Until now it was two years, but that contradicted national legislation. According to national rules, a car is considered out of use if there has been no valid annual technical inspection in the last three months. With its resolutions, the local parliament aligned the ordinance with state provisions.

The city mayor, Petar Kulinski, informed that work on removing abandoned vehicles has been underway for a second year. He stated: “We launched a procedure regarding 306 motor vehicles that are out of use, of which 137 have been repossessed by their owners on private properties, 13 have been forcibly repossessed, and another 30 vehicles are ready to be towed, with the process continuing for another 76 motor vehicles.”

Additionally, with the ordinance change, the deadline for forcibly removing abandoned cars is shortened if owners do not carry this out voluntarily.
