Thousands of migrants are currently stranded in vehicles at the border crossing between Montenegro and Croatia, facing prolonged waits and inadequate facilities. Reports indicate that a queue of approximately 20 kilometers has formed on the Montenegrin side leading up to the Karasoviqi – Debeli Brijeg crossing. These thousands of individuals, including many migrants originating from Kosovo, are awaiting entry into Croatia as they continue their intended journey toward Western European nations such as Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Travelers are experiencing significant delays; the Croatian Automobile Club estimates wait times can reach up to ten hours. Furthermore, the Croatian portal Index.hr has reported unverified information suggesting that wait times at the border have escalated to as long as 28 hours. Another crossing point is also reportedly experiencing overcrowding.
The conditions for the thousands of migrants waiting in these vehicles are challenging, with reports citing insufficient access to basic amenities such as potable water and restroom facilities. Authorities are managing the flow of people attempting to enter Croatia, which is a key transit point for those traveling further into the European Union. The extended queues highlight the current strain on border management infrastructure handling the large numbers of migrants.
