The opening of the new Debeli Brijeg border crossing between Montenegro and Croatia is scheduled for 13 July 2005. This information is especially relevant for all you who visit Montenegro via neighboring Croatia for business or as a tourist. The old border crossing came into service in 1999. Even though it is very, very busy the old crossing still looks like this:
In 2004 this border was crossed by about 850.000 persons and about 162.000 vehicles,and most of them were foreign visitors. The future, new crossing of Debeli Brijeg is situated 200 meters below the old one. The building project is worth about 2.2 million Euros. The crossing occupies an area of about 15.000 square meters and comprises buildings of 860 square meters and a car park of 1.350 square meters. The project has been financed by the European Agency for Reconstruction.
On the Croatian side the new Karasovici crossing has just been completed, so that very shortly cross boarder traffic will begin to flow smoothly and quickly between Montenegro and Croatia.
