Crossing the Hungarian-Croatian, Hungarian-Serbian borders changes fundamentally

Traffic will change at the southern “gate” of Hungary, the Serbian-Hungarian border crossing near Röszke. Furthermore, you will be able to cross the Croatian-Hungarian border faster soon.

According to Pénzcentrum, border check will change at the busiest Hungarian-Serbian border crossing station near Röszke. That is because authorities will check EU and third-country individuals in different lanes. Police told press they will introduce the new border check system on 26 June. Signs above the gates will show motorists which lane they can use. The reason is international agreements and police expect the border control process will become quicker thanks to the change. If experience supports the idea, the temporary modification will become constant.

Meanwhile, Hungarian and Croatian authorities began dismantling the border crossing station buildings at the Croatian-Hungarian border near Letenye. As a result, drivers can cross the border without reducing speed. Furthermore, lorries will not have to leave the M7 motorway, napi.hu said. Work started on 12 April, and the buildings had been dismantled by mid-May. Furthermore, by the beginning of the touristic season, the road will be renewed to help motorists. Croatia joined the Schengen Zone this January.
