Border crossing requirements

When traveling from Montenegro to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Šćepan Polje border crossing on the Tara River is a scenic route, often chosen for its proximity to the Tara River Canyon. An alternative route is via Klobuk. Research road conditions and transportation schedules beforehand, especially if relying on public transport.

Advise on transfer options to Dubrovnik Airport. Address potential long queues at the border crossing from Montenegro to Croatia and suggest researching alternative routes through Bosnia, while noting the lack of a direct border crossing on some of these routes. Also, mention that direct travel from Herceg Novi to Croatia is an option, but queues can be significant.

Scheduled summit in Tivat (June 4-5, 2026) involves periodic full road closures on the Adriatic highway (airport to city center) and potential disruption of the Kamenari-Lepetane ferry. Passengers flying from Tivat are advised to arrive significantly earlier. Travelers crossing into Croatia should consider staying overnight near the border to avoid missing flights.

When traveling by bus from Serbia to Montenegro, passengers typically disembark and go through passport control at the Montenegrin border. Exiting the vehicle at the Serbian border crossing is less common. Be prepared for potential queues and have your travel documents ready.

Provide links to live border crossing cameras for Serbia (mup.gov.rs), Montenegro (kamere.mup.gov.me), Bosnia and Herzegovina (ams-rs.com), and Croatia (hak.hr). Note that some borders may have cameras from both sides.
