Main road blocked in Plužine, locals demand opening of Ravno border crossing

(Patria) - Residents of border villages in Piva, as well as other residents of the municipality of Plužine, have blocked the Plužine-Šćepan Polje main road, on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, because they want to be allowed to cross the border with personal documents via the Ravno crossing in Piva.

They are also demanding that tourists be allowed to use this crossing during the summer season.

The blockade near the gas station in Plužine will last from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, while at 3:00 PM their neighbors will gather on the other side of the border, at the intersection in Avtovac.

Residents of the municipalities of Plužine and Gacko are demanding to be able to cross the border with personal documents via the Ravno crossing in Piva, as well as for tourists to be able to use this crossing as a border crossing during the summer season.

The border police of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as they previously announced, have increased controls, and some residents of Piva and Gacko, as well as tourists, have been fined.

Passes exist for easier crossing for residents from border areas, but, as they claim, only a small number of them can obtain them.
