Western Balkans truck drivers threaten EU border blockade

Truck drivers from the Western Balkans protested against EU entry and exit rules, threatening to block border crossings on September 14 if their grievances are not addressed. They are demanding changes to rules that limit their stay to 90 days in the Schengen area within a 180-day period. The dispute has intensified with the rollout of the EU's Entry/Exit System, which makes it easier to track how long drivers spend in the Schengen zone.
