The summer crowds have begun at the border of Bosnia and Croatia, travelers to the sea wait longer than usual

Travelers crossing the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are experiencing longer wait times due to increased traffic and the full implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES). The system, active since April, uses digital records and biometric data instead of stamping passports. While European institutions claim it will streamline border control in the long term, initial delays are expected, especially during peak summer travel periods.

Zbog povećanog broja vozila već danas su zabilježena duža zadržavanja na pojedinim prelazima, a tokom vikenda se očekuju višesatna čekanja.

Čitatelji su nam javili da se na GP Gornji Vinjani (Imotski) jutros čekalo i do sat i po na ulasku u Hrvatsku.

Dodatni faktor koji utiče na sporiji protok putnika je i puna primjena Entry/exit sistema (EES), koji je od aprila ove godine aktivan na vanjskim granicama Šengena.

Umjesto dosadašnjeg pečatiranja pasoša, podaci o ulasku i izlasku putnika iz trećih zemalja, uključujući državljane BiH, evidentiraju se digitalno, uz fotografisanje lica i uzimanje biometrijskih podataka prilikom prve registracije u sistemu.

Iako evropske institucije tvrde da će EES dugoročno ubrzati i modernizirati granične kontrole, u prvim mjesecima primjene očekivana su duža čekanja, posebno tokom ljetnih špica kada desetine hiljada građana iz BiH putuju prema Hrvatskoj i drugim zemljama Evropske unije.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about increased border delays without taking a stance on the policy or its implications. It cites the implementation of the EES and mentions both the challenges and the stated goals of European institutions, providing balanced context.
