Important noticeChanges to border crossing between Slovenia and Croatia after 1 January 2023 - information for travellersCroatia joined the Schengen Area on 1 January 2023. As a result, border controls have been lifted at the land border between Slovenia and Croatia and free flow of traffic is now allowed through the border crossing points. This means that all eligible travellers (with a valid travel document for crossing the border) are able to cross the border between the two countries anywhere. A temporary traffic regime has been put in place at all land border crossing points with Croatia, allowing the border to be crossed safely and as smoothly as possible, without the need to stop. All road users are therefore advised to observe the temporary traffic signals and to take particular care when driving in the areas of the former border crossing points. |
