The Auto-Moto Association of Serbia (AMSS) reported significant delays at the Batrovci border crossing with Croatia on the morning of August 23, 2026. Passenger vehicles experienced wait times of up to two hours for exit, while trucks faced delays of about one hour.
Shorter queues were observed at other border crossings, including Horgoลก, Horgoลก 2, and Kelebija. The AMSS advised drivers to exercise caution and patience, emphasizing the importance of good travel planning.
"Drivers have another day ahead of them where, with caution and patience, it will be important to plan the trip well," the AMSS stated. The association noted that many travelers are returning from holidays, leading to increased vehicle numbers on highways and at border crossings.
As the summer tourist season approaches its end, pressure at border crossings is intensifying in both directions, with a particular increase in traffic heading towards Western European countries.
