About the crossing

Vatin is a border crossing between Serbia and Romania, in the Vršac municipality of the South Banat District, opposite Moravița on the Romanian side. It sits on State Road 10, part of European route E70, which links Belgrade with Timișoara on the Romanian side. It operates 24 hours a day and takes both passenger and freight vehicles, making it one of the main road crossings toward Romania. Traffic here currently runs on the older two-lane road, but motorways are planned on both sides of the border — the Belgrade–Vatin section on the Serbian side and the Timișoara–Moravița section on the Romanian side — which would eventually connect the two cities by motorway, though construction hasn't started yet, so it's not something to count on anytime soon. Since 1 January 2025, Romania has been fully part of the Schengen Area, including its land borders, making Vatin a full external Schengen border — once through the checks here, onward driving through Romania and neighboring Schengen countries involves no further border checks. For Serbia, which is outside both the EU and Schengen, that means documents and goods are still checked as usual for everyone leaving the country, regardless of nationality.
