Based on previous experiences, we warn drivers traveling from the south to the interior of the country today (03.05.) of significant congestion and possible delays on the M-17 main road, on the Mostar-Sarajevo route.
As one of the alternative routes, it is recommended to use the section: Kupres-Bugojno-Rostovo-Vitez-Sarajevo, which in practice has proven to be less congested on days of heavy traffic.
Drivers are advised to plan their departure earlier in the morning, check the road conditions via BIHAMK reports and cameras available on the bihamk.ba website, and be prepared for a longer drive on an alternative route, but with a lower risk of complete delays.
There are long lines of vehicles at the exit from Bosnia and Herzegovina at the border crossings: Izačić, Velika Kladuša, Hadžin Potok, Kostajnica, Kozarska Dubica, Gradina, Gradiška, Novi Grad, Brod, Orašje and Brčko. At other border crossings, passenger vehicles are currently not waiting longer than 30 minutes.
Due to the registration of passengers under the new system of exit and entry into the countries of the European Union (EES, Entry/Exit System), longer delays at border crossings are possible.
