The Southern border of Hungary has collapsed
Most Eastern European guest workers go on holiday in Western Europe these days, and they would like to go home via Hungary. Most of them try this by car, and the southern border crossings of Hungary leading to Croatia, Romania, and Serbia have already collapsed, so the waiting time there increased to 2-3 hours.
According to index.hu, the administration with the Croatian authorities takes a lot of time, so that is why passengers had to wait more than three hours at the Letenye I. and Letenye II. border crossings yesterday.
In the case of Röszke (Serbia), authorities modified the operation, and from 1:30 pm Saturday, only those could use it who wanted to leave Hungary. The police headquarters of Csongrád-Csanád County said that the Serbian and Hungarian authorities aim to reduce waiting time. That is why they introduced the new mechanism.
They advised all tourists and passengers to read the latest news on the Határinfó page (HERE) of the police and check the traffic situation with the help of the Rutin mobile application, the road information system of the Hungarian police.
Based on the situation Saturday evening, the waiting times were the following:
- Csanádpalota (motorway): 3 hours
- Csengersima: 1 hour
- Nagylak: 1 hour
- Röszke: 3 hours
- Letenye: less than 15 minutes

According to 24.hu, the police advise all travellers to use the less popular Hungary-Croatia border crossings or choose Slovenia instead and travel through the country to Croatia.
