Lorry drivers from four Western Balkan countries blockaded more than 20 border crossings with the European Union on Monday in coordinated protests against strict enforcement of Schengen travel limits they say threaten their livelihoods, causing an estimated €100 million in daily export losses.
Freight terminals in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia ground to a halt as drivers parked vehicles at border checkpoints, stopping transport through a major corridor linking the EU with Turkey and the Middle East. The blockade also affected Montenegro's Adriatic port of Bar.
