Traffic jams in Croatia, waiting for hours to cross the border
Long queues have formed at the border crossing between Croatia and Montenegro, causing significant traffic congestion in the southern part of Croatia. At the Karasovići border checkpoint, travelers are waiting up to ten hours or more to cross into Montenegro, according to Croatian media reports. The mayor of Konavle, Božo Lasić, has activated the local civil protection team due to the severe delays. Some drivers have been waiting since Saturday evening, with some vehicles stuck for over 12 hours. According to data from the Croatian Automobile Club (HAK), wait times at the Karasovići checkpoint exceed several hours, while nearby checkpoints like Vitaljina take around four hours. Traffic jams stretch along the Adriatic Motorway from Čilipi near Dubrovnik Airport to the Karasovići border crossing, prompting police to redirect some traffic to alternative routes to keep the airport road accessible. These delays occurred during the first weekend of August, which is typically one of the busiest periods of the tourist season.
