Udruženja transportnih firmi Srbije, Crne Gore, Bosne i Hercegovine i Severne Makedonije, koja su organizovala zajednički protest, blokadom teretnih graničnih terminala prema zemljama EU nastavila su protest, ali danas očekuju rešenje Evropske komisije za problem koji vozačima stvara ograničen boravak u zemljama Šengenskog sporazuma na 90 dana u perodu od šest meseci.

Udruženja transportera Balkana nastavila blokadu graničnih prelaza, danas očekuju rešenje EU

TL;DR

  • Transport associations from Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia are protesting EU border crossing regulations.
  • The protest involves blocking freight terminals to the EU due to the 90-day stay limit in Schengen countries within a six-month period.
  • The European Commission's Exit Entry System (EES), implemented in October 2025, strictly controls professional drivers' stays.
  • The EU plans to announce a new visa strategy with special visas for professional drivers from outside Schengen countries.
  • One proposed solution is long-term driver visas for all Schengen countries, though visas are seen as a reminder of a "bad time."
  • The implementation of the new EU strategy is expected to take about six months, which is not an immediate solution.
  • Drivers have faced penalties, including fines, seized trucks, and deportations, for exceeding stay limits.
  • There is a professional driver shortage across Europe, making it difficult for transport firms to find and retain drivers.
  • The restrictions impact the ability to deliver goods from Western Balkan countries to the EU.
