News Official statement Context piece
  • Traffic intensity has increased on major roads and in urban areas in Serbia, leading to potential delays.
  • The summer tourist season is causing heavy traffic and possible long waits at border crossings.
  • Specific border crossings like Horgoลก and Gradina are experiencing significant delays for both passenger and commercial vehicles.

Traffic intensity has heightened across Serbia's main roadways and within urban centers, with authorities anticipating slower speeds and occasional congestion during morning and afternoon hours.

The ongoing summer tourist season is a significant factor contributing to the increased volume of vehicles. This surge is particularly noticeable at the busiest border crossings, where travelers may face extended waiting times for both entering and exiting the country.

Delays are being reported at several key border points. Passenger vehicles entering Serbia at Horgoลก are experiencing waits of approximately 30 minutes, while those exiting face delays of up to 1.5 hours. At Gradina, exiting vehicles are being held up for as long as three hours, with Preลกevo seeing 1.5-hour delays and Gostun experiencing 20-minute waits. Commercial trucks are also affected, with exit delays of 1.5 hours at Horgoลก and two hours each at Batrovci and ล id. Toll stations, however, are reportedly operating without significant vehicle queues.
