Ministers Ivica Dacic and Peter Szijjarto have opened the new border crossing between Serbia and Hungary, Rastina-Bacsszentgyorgy. The new border crossing will be active every day from 7 am till 7 pm and is only meant for passenger traffic.

Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic and Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto officially cut the ribbon at the border and said that the new border crossing would make life easier for the local populace.

Szijjarto said that this was the eighth border crossing between Serbia and Hungary and that the border was 164 kilometers long.
