Welcome to the Serbian traffic nightmare this summer! If you’re planning to cross the border, brace yourself for a real adventure – and not the fun kind. At the Preševo border crossing, passenger cars are waiting around 20 hours to exit Serbia. Yes, you read that right – TWENTY hours! Trucks, those massive time-wasters, are stuck waiting up to seven hours at Šid, four hours at Batrovci, three hours at Kelebija and Sremska Rača, and about an hour at Bezdan. This isn’t a scene from an apocalyptic movie, it’s the harsh reality at Serbian borders this summer.
The Auto-moto Association of Serbia (AMSS) warns that mid-July usually brings a surge of vehicles on busy routes, as people head out on long trips. But did anyone expect these insane queues and wait times? Apparently not.
Just imagine – stuck in line for hours, no clear info, time slipping away, and nerves fraying. Trucks waiting seven hours only make the traffic worse and create chaos. Is this the price of travel in the 21st century?
Meanwhile, experts warn the situation might get worse as every country hunts for critical resources like lithium, potentially sparking new conflicts and wars. But that’s a story for another day.
For now, if you’re crossing the border, pack patience, water, and maybe a good book – because the waits are long and the jams are massive. Don’t be surprised if you feel like you’re stuck in an endless line.
