Bulgaria and Serbia plan the construction of a second border crossing at Kalotina
Bulgaria and Serbia are beginning joint work on a project to build a second border crossing in the Kalotina area. This decision aims to relieve traffic and improve transport links between the two neighboring countries.
The Kalotina border crossing is the busiest of the five checkpoints along the Bulgarian-Serbian border. It is a key point, as it is located on the international transport corridor connecting Sofia and Niš. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of travelers, which often leads to long queues and delays for drivers.
The project is part of broader efforts by both governments to improve infrastructure in the region. The new crossing is expected to facilitate the movement of cars and trucks, reducing waiting times when crossing the border. This will benefit both international trade and the thousands of tourists traveling between Bulgaria and Serbia.
Currently, experts from both sides are discussing the technical details and the necessary steps for the realization of the facility. Timelines for construction and project funding are yet to be determined. The construction of the second crossing is expected to contribute to faster and safer travel along one of the most important routes in the Balkans.
