From October 1st until early November, the agreement on free movement between the border points of Vërmica and Morina is temporarily suspended.
During this period, citizens and vehicle drivers will undergo the usual registration procedures, but with an expedited process, to avoid long waits caused by the high flow of passengers.
However, for weekends and official holidays, traffic facilitation remains in effect: vehicles with Albanian and Kosovo license plates will pass without border controls.
The free movement agreement, established to facilitate circulation and avoid heavy traffic, has shown positive effects, especially during the summer season.
According to the current scheme, periods without controls or with reduced controls extend from May 1 to September 30. Thus, citizens of the two countries enjoy a facilitated movement regime for nine months of the year, while during the remaining three months, border procedures return to normal.
