The border crossing Doljani, one of the most frequent in the south of our country, was almost desert yesterday. On the neighboring side, in Metković at the time of the beginning of the application of the new system control system, which worked in 15.30, ie the entry / exit (EES) system, a completely different image.
Because the application of new rules crossing borders with the EU involving the scanning of the travel document, taking the biometry of the face and fingerprints, has almost immediately led to the formation of the column at that border crossing, from both directions.
“Lokalci” disapproved
– Good afternoon. Your travel document please. Be kind to get out of your car to take your fingerprints and photographed you.
Thus, yesterday appears to cross the border towards new rules. This process also demanded the time, which increases depending on the number of passengers in the car. They mostly disregarded “locals”, ie citizens living in border areas, which were forced to wait in the column.
– They harass an honest world, as if the illegals cross this way. Well they go forests. To come from someone from Brussels, they should be shame for such a transition, that there is no bar for locals. I live 600 meters from here, “Metkovic’s citizen was angry.
Petar Krešić started from Doljan in BiH.
This is a really big problem. I have a dual nationality, but what does that mean to me when I have to wait – Krešić told us.
Kristina Vukovic is a professional driver of daily tourist tours and every day, she said, exceeds six border crossings, from BiH to Montenegro and Croatia.
– At the moment, guests are Americans and it will have to pass this system. They mostly guests from third countries. It will be, I’m afraid, big crowds, “Vukovic said for” Avaz “.
Numerous countries
The buses are in a special lane, and passengers relating to the new system access control in special places.
We just came to the border, and we have passengers from numerous countries, from Spain to India. We will surely wait for an hour, two. I see that he is waiting a lot, and I’m afraid that there will be a summer, “Marin Barović bus driver said.
The new system will replace the current mode, ie manual passport stamping.
Digital file
All data that will be recorded, and these are information from the travel document, the date and place of entry and exit, as well as the biometric passport controls when the passenger approaches the border crossing, after the start of the EES is stored in the digital file and check during the next transitions.
The new system refers to passengers who do not citizenship of the EU member, Liechtenstein, Norwegian or Switzerland, for a short stay, or 90 days in an 180-day period, each time the external boundaries of any of the European countries that apply this system. The EES will ensure the highest standards of data protection and privacy. Records on the enters and outs will be stored three years from the date of creation, while individual files that contain personal information will keep three years and one day from the date of the last exit. The EES system will be gradually introduced for a period of six months, from 12. October 2025. year by 9. April 2026. year, Avaz writes
