Let us remind you that the Cabinet of Ministers recently adopted a resolution, thanks to which it became possible to launch a full cycle of issuing a European protocol in the Diya application in the event of minor road accidents.

Already from the first quarter of 2026, drivers will be able to record an accident without calling the police and no paper work immediately at the scene of the incident.

It is noted that “Diya” will automatically pull up all the necessary data from state registers: information about driver’s documents, registration certificates and insurance. This eliminates the risk of errors that could previously lead to drivers being denied insurance claims.. It will be enough to add a few photos, agree on the information with another participant and sign the document using " Signatures"
