The National Center for Border Management has released the latest information on the situation at border crossings, where some points report significant delays and long queues of cars.

According to the report from 13:26 on July 23, 2026, the longest queue has formed at Muçibabë, where travelers intending to enter Kosovo wait up to a full hour, while the line of vehicles stretches for about 1000 meters.

A high influx is also observed at the Dheu i Bardhë point, with the same waiting time for entry and a queue reaching 150 meters, while for those exiting the waiting time is about 25 minutes and the column measures 90 meters.

On the other hand, at Hani i Elezit the situation appears more eased: entry requires about 15 minutes with a 100-meter queue, while exit takes around 5 minutes.

As for other crossings, such as Bërnjak, Jarinje, Kulla, Merdare, Mutivodë, Qafa e Morinës, Qafa e Prushit, Stançiq, Vërmica and Glloboçica, waits range from 2 to 15 minutes and no large vehicle formations are reported.

As a result of the lack of these services, the number of cases awaiting the completion of autopsies in suspected death or murder cases has increased. Meanwhile, autopsies are being carried out in an improvised space, but toxicology, histopathology and radiography analyses cannot be performed because the renovation of the examination room has taken years.

Agron Thaci, the acting director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine, told Radio Kosovo that the renovation is expected to be completed by next week at the latest.

“More than 700 cases are pending, of which around 300 are cases for which the Prosecutor’s Office has requested a full examination,” Thaci said.

According to him, once the work is completed, the laboratory equipment will need to be tested and calibrated. These procedures, he stressed, are necessary before the toxicology, histopathology and radiography laboratories can resume operations.

Radio Kosovo received confirmation only from the Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Pristina and the Special Prosecutor’s Office that they are awaiting the completion of 200 autopsies due to the lack of laboratory and X-ray services.

Thaci said that once laboratory analyses resume, priority will be given to the samples currently awaiting examination.

The Ministry of Justice did not respond to a request for the investigation report concerning the fires at the Institute of Forensic Medicine. The fires occurred shortly after it was reported in December 2022 that 12 samples linked to the death in prison of former Vetëvendosje activist Astrit Dehari had gone missing from the toxicology laboratory. It later emerged that the samples had not been lost.

The Special Prosecutor’s Office had launched investigations into both the samples issue and the fires, but no results have been recorded in the case so far.

The latest data show that the waiting time to enter or leave Kosovo’s territory is minimal, fluctuating between 3 and 5 minutes at almost all crossings.

However, authorities predict an increase in the number of expatriates and visitors in the coming days, a period during which long queues usually form and waiting times lengthen.

For now, traffic is flowing smoothly without any significant delays.
