VARIOUS OF VEHICLES WAITING IN LONG QUEUES AT EVZONI BORDER CROSSING / ROAD SIGNS AROUND BORDER CROSSING EVZONI, GREECE - JUNE 20: Long queues of vehicles formed at the Evzoni border crossing between North Macedonia and Greece Saturday, June 20, as travelers faced lengthy delays while attempting to enter Greece for the summer season. In addition to increased holiday traffic, the ongoing implementation of the European Union's new Schengen Entry/Exit System (EES)—which requires the collection of biometric data from non-EU travelers—contributed to the congestion. Vehicles stretched for kilometers near the crossing as border authorities processed passengers under the updated guidelines. Many travelers waited for hours before reaching passport control checkpoints. The Evzoni crossing, located near Gevgelija, remains one of the busiest routes used by motorists heading from the Western Balkans to Greece during the peak summer holiday period.
