Last year with no green card (insurer refused to issue as they "are not required") we had to buy insurance (a worthless piece of paper) before entering Croatia, Monte Negro, Albania and Macedonia. 50 euros for Monte Negro, which we passed through (in the rain) in half a day. Annoying. And it often took a fair while to find the right office and sort out the paperwork.

Each border wanted to see a green card. If you don't have it is very likely you will be forced to pay up. Even if your insurance certificate states that it covers you in those countries, if it's not a green card they won't even look at it. They'll just grunt and wave you away.

50 bloody euros.....:thumbdown:

Hi Raffexpat...

Did you get anyupdate on this? I'm passing through the Balkans in late May and would be curious to know as well.

Thanks,
John

Are you sure? Myself and numerous friends have passed through these same borders. Croatia does not require a fee with EU insurance. Montenegro is €10, Albania was free in my case but I've heard it can be €15 depending on which border post you cross. Macedonia is €50. On the Croatian coast where a small strip of Bosnia intersects the road you don't have to pay insurance to transit this tiny section of Bosnian territory.

Our Polish companion had a green card. Incidentally I had my insurance details on green paper. It didn't work :thumbdown:. A green card means just that, a little green card in a plastic sleeve.
