In short: for Greece the main crossing is Bogorodica–Evzoni (the E75 motorway, via North Macedonia), while for Croatia (Istria and the Kvarner) and on to Slovenia you go via Batrovci–Bajakovo. Live cameras and current waiting times are checked on the official sources — AMSS, HAK (over 200 cameras) and promet.si.
Before you set off to the coast, it is most useful to know which border crossing your route takes and to look at the live cameras before departure — because the situation at the border changes from hour to hour. In this guide we list, in order, the crossings towards Greece, Croatia and Slovenia and show the official sources where you can see the queues in real time, so you can more easily judge when to leave. Departure from Belgrade is at night — at 21:00h for Greece, and at 23:00h for Croatia and Slovenia — precisely so as to reach the key crossings when traffic is at its lightest.
Border crossings towards Greece
The route to the Greek sea runs via North Macedonia, so two borders are crossed, since North Macedonia is not in the European Union nor in Schengen:
- Preševo – Tabanovce — the exit from Serbia into North Macedonia, on the E75 motorway (the Belgrade – Niš – Skopje corridor). This is the busiest point on entry into North Macedonia.
- Bogorodica – Evzoni — the crossing from North Macedonia into Greece, after Skopje, Veles, Demir Kapija and Gevgelija. It operates 24 hours and is the main entrance towards Thessaloniki, and in summer it is precisely the point where the wait is longest.
By this route come all our Greek destinations — Halkidiki (Belgrade to Halkidiki transfer), the Olympic Riviera (Belgrade to Olympic Riviera transfer) and Thessaloniki with the Thermaic gulf (Belgrade to Thessaloniki Region transfer). See the prices for each place on the destination pages — for example the price for Sani, the price for Polihrono or the price for Leptokaria.
Border crossings towards Croatia (Istria and the Kvarner)
To the Adriatic you go along the E70 motorway and cross one border:
- Batrovci – Bajakovo — the busiest crossing between Serbia and Croatia, on the Belgrade – Zagreb route. It operates 24 hours, and as this is the entrance to Schengen, in summer and around big holidays the longest queues form here, especially at weekends. After the crossing you continue along the A3 motorway towards Zagreb, then on to Istria (Belgrade to Istria transfer) and the Kvarner (Belgrade to Kvarner transfer).
For particular places, check the price for Pula, the price for Rovinj or the price for Rijeka.
Border crossings towards Slovenia
The journey to northern Slovenia (Belgrade to Slovenia transfer) also runs via Croatia:
- Batrovci – Bajakovo — this is the only passport control on the way to Slovenia, as you enter Schengen here.
- Bregana – Obrežje — the crossing between Croatia and Slovenia, on the A3 motorway after Zagreb. Since Croatia has been in Schengen since 2023, there is no systematic border control here and it is usually passed without delay.
In practice, for Slovenia the decisive factor is the queue at Bajakovo. See the prices for each town on the destination pages — for example the price for Bled or the price for Maribor.
Live cameras and checking the border situation
The situation at the crossings is best checked on the official sources, which show cameras and estimated delays in real time:
- Serbia — AMSS, Road Situation — the Auto-Moto Association of Serbia shows the road situation and cameras, including border crossings. Estimates of delays on exit and entry are also published by the Border Police Directorate of the Serbian Ministry of the Interior.
- Croatia — HAK, live cameras — the Croatian Auto Club has over 200 cameras, among them at the border crossings (Bajakovo, Bregana) and on the A3 route Bregana – Zagreb – Lipovac. The images are also followed on the interactive map
map.hak.hr. - Slovenia — promet.si — the Slovenian traffic information centre shows cameras and the road situation, including the Obrežje crossing.
A good order is to look, in the evening before departure, at the camera for the crossing on your route and compare it with the usual queues described in the guide when to leave for the coast.
How we watch the border for you
Instead of watching the cameras yourself, leave the border to us. With the door-to-door minibus transfer, the night departure is already set so that the key crossings are reached at the calmest part of the day, and we follow the flow of traffic before and during the journey and adjust the route if a queue forms somewhere. You sleep, and the driver takes care of the border.
Just tell us the date and the number of passengers — we drive to all the resorts in Greece (Belgrade to Greece transfer), Croatia (Belgrade to Croatia transfer) and Slovenia (transfer to Slovenia). The fixed prices per person, with no hidden costs, are in the price list.
Bear in mind too that from 10 April 2026 the European EES system is in full application, recording biometric data on the first crossing, so the first entry takes a little longer — more about documents in the guide what to bring to the border.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I see a live border camera?
For the crossings towards Croatia and Slovenia the most reliable are the Croatian Auto Club (HAK) and the Slovenian promet.si, and for the situation in Serbia the Auto-Moto Association of Serbia (AMSS). On their pages you see the camera images and estimated delays in real time.
Which border crossing is the main one for Greece?
Bogorodica – Evzoni, between North Macedonia and Greece. It operates 24 hours and dictates how long the journey takes, because the wait there is longest in summer. Before it, Preševo – Tabanovce is also crossed on the exit from Serbia.
Do I need a passport for Slovenia if going via Croatia?
Yes, a biometric passport is required. Passport control is carried out at the Batrovci – Bajakovo crossing, on entry into Schengen, while the Bregana – Obrežje crossing between Croatia and Slovenia is usually passed without control.
When are the queues at the crossings smallest?
On weekdays and in the late night and early morning hours. The worst is Saturday morning, during the changeover of holiday turns and around big holidays — which is why the night departure from Belgrade (transfer to Greece) is the fastest choice.
