TABANOVCE BORDER CROSSING & TRANSIT RECEPTION CENTRE
Tabanovce Border Crossing sits on the main road between North Macedonia and Serbia and was reconstructed at an investment EUR 1.8 million. It has increased the number of traffic lanes to four entry and three exit lanes. It also provides modern facilities for carrying out the necessary border and customs formalities by border authorities. Border crossing for passengers includes all elements necessary for normal functioning and control of passengers and passenger vehicles.
This has led to an increase from processing six vehicles per hour on average, to 24 vehicles cross the border in one hour.
With over US$350m of trade through the crossing point, it contributes to intensifying trade by facilitating the flow of goods and services.
The modern border crossing provides a number of benefits, not only improved passenger traffic and facilitated cross-border trade, but also better access of Macedonian products to European markets and improved competitiveness of the domestic economy.
