User Reviews — 4.0/5 (1 reviews)
On wait times, the report is specific: the traveller arrived and joined the queue at 04:50 on 9 August 2026, and cleared the border at 08:00. That works out to roughly three hours and ten minutes from queue entry to exit. Notably, this was an early-morning arrival before dawn, yet the queue was already forming, which indicates that Vraćenovići sees meaningful traffic even in the pre-dawn hours during the August holiday season.
The practical takeaway for other travellers is to budget around three hours for the crossing in peak summer and to treat an early-morning arrival as no guarantee of a quick passage. Arriving before 05:00 may still mean a substantial queue, so drivers should carry water, fuel and snacks. With only one review available, these figures should be treated as a single data point rather than a reliable average.
