BCH Border Crossings Between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia

Border Crossings Between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia

The border separating Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia is a long and intricate one, shaped by centuries of history and defined by rivers and the Adriatic coastline. As Croatia is a member of the European Union, you will be crossing an external EU border, which involves more thorough checks than you might find at other borders in the region.

Your route will determine which of the numerous crossings you use. The most unique situation is along the coast, where you must cross through the short Neum corridor (Bosnia and Herzegovina) to continue traveling through Croatia between Split and Dubrovnik. The main crossings here are Neum-Klek and Neum-Zaton Doli. Further inland, major crossings are situated on the Sava River, such as Gradiška-Stara Gradiška and Brod-Slavonski Brod. Another key point is the Izačić-Ličko Petrovo Selo crossing. Given the number of travelers, especially during the summer, you should plan for potential delays at any of these major points.
