Compulsory Third Party Motor Liability Insurance

What is compulsory third party motor liability insurance?

This insurance ensures that damage to third party health or property caused by an accident for which you were responsible is covered.
A policy may be taken out by the owner of a vehicle or by a lawful possessor or person authorised by the owner on behalf of the owner.
This insurance has been provided for in the Law on Compulsory Third Party Motor Liability Insurance of Vehicle Owners and Possessors, which entered into force on 1 January 2002. The driver of a vehicle stopped by a road police patrol must also show together with other documents a valid certificate of insurance confirming that he has a respective policy.
