If they do not receive an invitation to a meeting from the ministries of transport and foreign affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina by April 25, the organizers have announced that they will begin blocking border crossings and customs terminals from April 28.
More than 500 trucks from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina paraded through the streets of Sarajevo today. According to the organizers, this symbolic act represents the unified voice of the road transport sector, “which no longer wants to be ignored.”
In this way, they claim, they are trying to preserve the industry with 47,000 employees.
The main problem that transporters are struggling with is the number of days they can stay in the European Union, which also applies to transporters who are only in transit.
They are demanding the urgent introduction of a two-year moratorium on the application of the 90/180 rule with the EU, the refund of excise duties on fuel, shorter delays at borders and customs through accelerated digitalization of processes, and the relief of business costs in road transport.
At 11:00 a.m., the trucks left Stupska Petlja towards Trg Bosne i Hercegovine, where they made a symbolic U-turn. The vehicles then returned to their starting point and left the city.
The Plenum of the Logistics Consortium of Bosnia and Herzegovina stated that if they do not receive an invitation to a meeting from the ministries of transport and foreign affairs of BiH by April 25, they announced that they would begin blocking border crossings and customs terminals from April 28, TVSA writes.
