However, under current regulations, their time spent in the Schengen Area is calculated in almost the same way as for other non-EU nationals, meaning many risk reaching the permitted 90-day limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transport associations argue that drivers should be granted a special status because they are not traveling for leisure but serve as a vital link in supply chains between the European Union and the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The economy and consumers could also feel the consequences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives of the transport sector warn that, if the issue remains unresolved, some professional drivers could temporarily lose the ability to work on international routes, further increasing pressure on an industry that has already been struggling with a labor shortage for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could mean fewer trucks available, more expensive transportation, and additional costs for companies importing and exporting goods through the European Union. In the long term, such costs are often passed on to consumers through higher product prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Type D visa or August 10 as D-Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transport associations have stated that if no acceptable response comes from Brussels by August 10, they will reconsider their next steps and possible measures to protect the interests of transport companies and professional drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/tragedy-in-belgrade-swarm-of-wasps-stung-a-man-39-on-the-head-and-neck-he-passed-away-in-the-health-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TRAGEDY IN BELGRADE: Swarm of wasps stung a man (39) on the head and neck, he passed away in the health center!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/day-of-mourning-declared-in-nis-death-of-a-young-woman-21-in-a-traffic-accident-in-montenegro-cloaks-the-city-in-black\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DAY OF MOURNING DECLARED IN NI\u0160: Death of a young woman (21) in a traffic accident in Montenegro cloaks the city in black!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/ministress-cleared-state-coffers-before-kosovo-paunovic-from-belgrade-charged-thousands-of-euros-in-travel-expenses-as-if-she-lived-in-pec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MINISTRESS CLEARED STATE COFFERS BEFORE KOSOVO: Paunovi\u0107 from Belgrade charged thousands of euros in travel expenses as if she lived in Pe\u0107!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/13-year-old-boy-from-bih-killed-in-germany-he-was-riding-an-electric-scooter-and-died-in-a-collision-the-car-driver-fled-home-and-then-called-for-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">13-YEAR-OLD BOY FROM BIH KILLED IN GERMANY: He was riding an electric scooter and died in a collision, the car driver fled home and then called for help!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/he-restored-their-faith-in-humanity-a-family-with-an-elderly-grandmother-and-a-child-waited-helplessly-on-the-road-for-three-hours-and-then-border-police-officer-stefan-took-matters-into-his-own-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HE RESTORED THEIR FAITH IN HUMANITY: A family with an elderly grandmother and a child waited helplessly on the road for three hours, and then border police officer Stefan took matters into his own hands!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/three-silver-and-two-bronze-medals-our-students-shone-at-the-international-physics-olympiad-in-colombia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THREE SILVER AND TWO BRONZE MEDALS: Our students shone at the International Physics Olympiad in Colombia!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source<\/strong>: Telegraf; <strong>Foto<\/strong>: Edvard Molnar \/ MTI via AP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional truck drivers from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and North Macedonia could face serious operational problems within weeks if the European Commission fails to find a solution to restrictions on their stay in the Schengen Area, according to Danas.
