Lorry drivers from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and North Macedonia have blockaded over 20 EU border crossings in protest against strict Schengen travel limits, claiming it threatens their livelihoods and causing significant export losses. The protests, which may last at least seven days, highlight the bureaucratic inflexibility of the EU and the need for solutions such as special visas for professional drivers. Key figures in the transport industry are calling for urgent discussions with EU representatives to address the crisis.
