I am travelling to Macedonia for a roadtrip in May. I am flying to Skopje and planning to travel by the west side down to Ohrid and then return back to Skopje through the middle part of the country.

I heard about refugees crisis in Macedonia. Is there something I have to be aware about?

Yes, you have to be aware. But there is no need for panic. Carry your papers with you at all times.

  • In the summer of 2015, some roads and rail lines along the balkan route were closed because of refugee columns. For safety reasons, and also to discourage helpers from giving refugees a lift.
  • Likewise border crossings were closed to legitimate traffic because there were refugees trying to cross.
