Romania

No queues are recorded at all border crossings (Diakove, Solotvyno, Porubne, Krasnoyilsk, Diakivtsi). Crossing the border is proceeding as normal for both cars and pedestrians.

To avoid delays, it is recommended to choose less busy border crossings or check the updated information on the official SBGS website. Also, consider weather conditions and the time required for border and customs control.

It is reminded that it was previously reported that the passenger flow at the border before Christmas is increasing in the Lviv region, but queues vary depending on the border crossing.

The situation at the borders remains dynamic, and passengers should stay informed of possible changes. During the holiday season, many people are heading to Poland, Slovakia, and Romania, so it is worth considering the time that may be needed to cross the border to avoid unpleasant surprises.
