Crossing details

This is one of the key crossings for travelers from central Serbia — from Novi Pazar, Raška, and the surrounding area. Traffic here is usually lighter than at the Gostun crossing, but heavier than at Jabuka. The longest queues form on weekends and during the summer season, the shortest on weekday mornings and late evenings. Local residents have long been raising the issue of establishing a joint border crossing here to reduce waiting times.
