From the specified date, the stamping of travel documents for third-country nationals will cease, and all data on entries and exits will be electronically recorded in the EES system. Travelers will have their faces photographed, fingerprints taken, and personal data from their travel documents collected. The system automatically records the date and place of entry and exit, the duration of the permitted stay, and any entry refusals. The duration of the permitted stay is precisely calculated using an integrated automated calculator. This enables more accurate monitoring of stays and further enhances the security of the European Union's external borders. Bosnia and Herzegovina shares its longest border with Croatia, which has announced it is fully prepared for the full implementation of the EES. "The Republic of Croatia actively participated in the process of introducing the system and has been recognized and praised as one of the member states implementing the EES system in a timely, effective, and compliant manner with the European Union's legal framework," stated the Croatian Ministry of the Interior. From the start of the EES implementation on October 12, 2025, until April 1, 2026, over 3,750,000 dossiers of third-country nationals have been created and verified in the EES system, confirming the high level of operational readiness of the Croatian border police. The Entry/Exit System (EES) is one of the European Union's key information systems in the field of border management, modernizing and enhancing border control for third-country nationals entering the Schengen area for short stays.
