Border Hell in Serbia: Waits Up to an Hour and Truckers in Agony!
Planning to cross the Serbian border? Brace yourself for a waiting game from hell! At the border crossings, the situation is far from smooth, with passenger cars waiting anywhere from 15 to a whopping 60 minutes. Yes, you read that right — up to an hour in line, and that’s not even the worst part!
Where’s the longest wait? The worst is at the Horgoš border crossing, where passenger vehicles wait up to 60 minutes to enter the country. Think that’s bad? At Gradina, on the exit from Serbia, the wait is 50 minutes, and at Batrovci, on the entry side, it’s 30 minutes. Preševo isn’t any better — passenger cars wait 15 minutes to enter and 20 minutes to exit.
Truckers stuck in nightmare queues But the real horror story is for truck drivers. At Batrovci, freight trucks are stuck waiting for a staggering four hours! Yes, four hours! Imagine what that means for drivers and the economy, with goods transport grinding to a halt. Other border crossings mostly have no long delays, but these numbers clearly highlight the problem spots.
What do the authorities say? According to the Serbian Border Police and JP Putevi Srbije, toll stations report no delays, but that doesn’t help those stuck for hours at the borders. The Auto-Moto Association of Serbia (AMSS) published these updates so drivers can be prepared and know where the biggest jams are.
Why is this a big deal? Think about all the time and money wasted in these lines. Drivers lose precious hours, and trucks waiting four hours slow down the entire supply chain. This isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s an economic headache affecting everyone.
Bottom line If you’re planning a trip through Serbia, get ready for waiting and frustration. The borders are a nightmare right now, and authorities need to act fast to fix this mess. Until then, patience and some good tunes in the car might be your best friends.
So, what about you? Ever been stuck in these lines? How did you survive? Drop a comment and let’s hear the wildest Serbian border stories! Remember, borders aren’t just lines on a map — they’re a test of every driver’s patience and nerves!
