Croatia’s Ministry Verifies It Is Ready to Introduce an Entry/Exit System

According to the Croatian Ministry of Interior, the nation is ready to go ahead and implement the Entry/Exit System.

According to the Ministry, all border checkpoints have already tested the system and trained border police officers.
Although the EU Commission has not yet disclosed an official launch date, the Entry/Exit System is anticipated to go live in 2025.

According to Croatia’s Ministry of Interior, the new system has already been tested at all of the nation’s border crossings, and officials are making sure that the nation satisfies all technical specifications and procedural guidelines necessary for the full deployment of the new Schengen system.

The Ministry also disclosed that police officers stationed at the nation’s border have received extensive training on how to use the system.

To ensure a seamless registration process for foreign nationals crossing the border after the new system goes into effect, the police officers received training on both the technical and operational aspects of the system.

According to Sarajevo Times, the Ministry also offered feedback on the EU Commission’s choice to implement the new border system gradually. The EU Commission is responsible for the system’s implementation, according to the Croatian Ministry of Interior. The same pointed out that a definitive timeline for the issue has not yet been formally disclosed.

The Croatian Ministry of Interior stated that EES implementation is anticipated by the end of 2025.
Although the EU Commission has not yet disclosed the EES’s launch date after the most recent delay, the Croatian Ministry of Interior has stated that the new system should go into effect by the end of 2025.

The system is scheduled to launch in 2025, according to the EU’s official EES website, though it did not specify what time of year.

Among other things, the EES is an automated system that will assist the EU in tracking foreign nationals’ movements and taking the place of manual passport stamping.

All foreign nationals, including those allowed entry into the Schengen Area without a visa, will need to complete the registration process as soon as the system is put into place.

Foreigners will be required to submit their fingerprints, facial photos, and personal information during this process. Travelers won’t have to worry about going through the process every time they enter the bloc because the data will be kept in a secure database for three years.

The new system’s primary goals include registering non-EU nationals’ arrivals and departures, stopping unauthorized immigration, and identifying overstayers and people using false identities, among other things.
