This will especially interest all Serbs! Here's how the EES system will work and what flexible application means

TL;DR

  • The EES system will have a practically eased application for Serbian citizens at Greek border crossings from June 1 to August 30, 2026.
  • This is an operational flexibility, not a formal abolition of the EES system, which is an EU rule.
  • During periods of heavy traffic and long queues, border services will expedite passage by skipping biometric data collection and extensive checks.
  • The priority remains the same for everyone; the change is in processing speed at the crossing point.
  • This flexible approach has been observed previously, such as during the May holidays, to avoid significant delays.
