Kakavija, vehicle queue stretches for 5 km into Greek territory

Travelers heading from Greece to Albania on Friday evening faced long waits on the Greek side of the border.

The queue of vehicles waiting to complete procedures at the Greek customs counters stretched for around 5 kilometers. Due to the slow processing of documents by the Greek side, hundreds of people traveling to Albania have been waiting for a considerable amount of time.

Reports indicate that, despite the high volume of traffic, the Greek authorities are operating only 1 to 2 counters, further increasing waiting times at the border. During this period in August, an average of 9,000 people a day pass through the Kakavija customs crossing in both directions.
