Fines
(1) Fines are imposed in daily amounts and if that is not possible, then in a fixed amount.
(2) If a fine is imposed in daily amounts, it may be a minimum of five and maximum of three hundred sixty daily amounts, whereas for offences motivated by greed, a maximum imposable fine is one thousand five hundred daily amounts, except in the cases foreseen by this Code.
(3) If a fine is imposed in a fixed amount, a minimum amount may not be less than 150 KM and a maximum one may not exceed 50.000 KM whereas for offences motivated by greed, a maximum fixed amount imposable may not exceed 1.000.000 KM, except in the cases foreseen by this Code.

In such case the offender may be imposed a fine in an amount that may not exceed the double amount of the value of the illegal gain resulted from the perpetration of the offence for which he or she is being punished by a fine.
(5) A number of daily amounts is determined by the court according to the general rules on meting out penalties. A daily amount is determined by the court according to the amount of the offender’s daily income calculated on the basis of his net salary during three months and his other income and family responsibilities.

(8) The court determines in the judgement a deadline for payment of the fine. Such deadline may not be shorter than fifteen days or longer than six months, but the court may allow in justified cases that the convicted pays the fine in instalments, whereby the deadline for payment may not exceed two years.
