promet

Promet is a term used in several South Slavic languages, including Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Slovenian, and Macedonian, with core meanings linked to movement, flow, or exchange. In everyday language, promet commonly denotes traffic, especially road traffic: for example, road traffic volumes or vehicle flow on a given route. The word also appears in economic and administrative contexts to describe turnover, trading activity, or the volume of goods and services moved through an economy or company, such as promет roba (goods turnover) or promет kapitala (capital turnover). In statistics and transport planning, phrases such as promет putnički (passenger traffic) and promет teretni (freight traffic) are used. Distinctions among senses are typically clarified by the accompanying nouns or adjectives.

As a proper noun, Promet is used as a name for various organizations, publications, and businesses in Slavic-speaking areas, often in fields related to transport, logistics, trade, or engineering. Such uses reflect the word’s association with movement, exchange, and activity, and they may appear as the title of a magazine, journal, or the corporate name of a logistics or transportation company.

The meaning of Promet depends on language and context. In most cases, it signals some form of flow—of vehicles, goods, people, or capital—and is central to discussions of traffic management, infrastructure planning, and market activity.
