Croatia begins issuing visas to Bosnian drivers
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
From September 23, drivers from Bosnia and Herzegovina can apply for visas in Croatia.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Minister of Communications and Transport, Edin Forto, welcomed the change after months of discussion regarding difficulties faced by Bosnian transport companies and professional drivers. Previously, rules limiting stays in the Schengen Area to 90 days within 180 days created problems for drivers whose work requires frequent border crossings.
The Ministry of Communications and Transport in Bosnia and Herzegovina communicated with European and regional partners about this issue, explaining that restrictions impacted not only drivers and transporters but also trade and supply chains. Forto emphasized that Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot independently change Schengen rules and needs a solution at the European Union level. Hrvatska (Croatia) demonstrated a path forward, and Forto stated his ministry will continue to push for a sustainable solution in other EU countries.
Technical details about the visa application process will be available on the website of the Croatian Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
