After their summer holidays in Albania, emigrants have begun returning to Greece. The high volume of traffic has also been recorded at the Kapshtica border crossing, where long lines of vehicles have formed in the neutral zone.

During just three days, from August 17 to 19, 18,000 exits from Albania were recorded at Kapshtica.

The flow is expected to continue in the coming days, while the Albanian side is working at full capacity to process vehicles and travelers and reduce waiting times at the border crossing as much as possible.

Kapshtica is one of the main crossing points for Albanian emigrants who live and work in Greece and return to the country during the summer months to spend their holidays with their families.

The Qafe Bote border crossing in the south of the country faced a high number of travelers this weekend, causing long lines of vehicles.

Queues formed on both sides of the border as citizens waited for checks to be completed.

Over the past 24 hours, around 10,000 Albanian and foreign citizens have entered or left through Qafe Bote. Data from the border crossing show that the heaviest traffic was recorded in the direction of entry into Albania.

Four counters are operating on the Albanian side, while the Greek side has put two into operation.

The situation is linked to increased movements by tourists and holidaymakers during the summer season, as well as citizens traveling to Greece or returning to Albania.

Border authorities are continuing their efforts to manage the traffic and speed up procedures, with the aim of reducing travelers’ waiting times.
