Imagine finally getting a shortcut to Greece after more than 50 years that cuts your travel time from 2.5 hours to just 45 minutes! Yes, you read that right – the Markova Noga border crossing, closed for half a century, is reopening soon thanks to the EU and the Prespa Agreement.

Still, if you’ve ever hated waiting in border lines, this is your new favorite news! Now it’s time to say – is this the real deal or just another EU fairy tale? Comment below and share your take!
