Where is the Sukobin — Muriqan border crossing

On the Montenegrin side the checkpoint is called Sukobin, and on the Albanian side — Muriqan. The crossing is located on the border section of road E851 on the Montenegrin side (Ulcinj) and road SH41 on the Albanian side (Shkodër).

The checkpoint is just a few kilometers from Ulcinj. It is a joint terminal: Montenegrin and Albanian border officers work at neighboring windows, so passport control usually takes just a couple of minutes. On the Albanian side, Tirana is about a 2-hour drive.
