About the crossing

Bijača is a border crossing between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, on state road D62 between Metković and Vrgorac. The Croatian side of the crossing is Nova Sela, in the Kula Norinska municipality. The Bosnian side sits in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, in western Herzegovina, while Metković, the larger nearby town, lies in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, at the mouth of the Neretva river. Vrgorac, on the Croatian side, sits right next to the A1 motorway, so Bijača effectively links western Herzegovina with Croatia's motorway network toward Split, without the longer route through Metković and the coastal D8 road. Since Croatia joined the Schengen Area in January 2023, this is a full external Schengen border, with document checks for everyone crossing, EU citizens included — Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to neither the EU nor Schengen. For travelers from the wider Mostar and Čapljina area heading toward central Dalmatia, Bijača is often the shorter option compared to the Doljani crossing further south, which leads toward Metković and the coast rather than straight to the motorway.
