While 10-15% of owners (including third-party insured) cannot be covered in case of damage to their vehicle, the government has decided to provide an emergency response for the affected owners the most modest, if their insurance does not cover the damage suffered. In particular, it will be possible to mobilize the Guarantee Fund for Victims of Terrorism and Other Crimes.
