Zaton Doli is the southern border crossing of the Neum corridor, on the Adriatic coastal road (route D8), where drivers re-enter Croatia toward Dubrovnik after passing through Bosnian Neum. About nine kilometres of road through Bosnian territory separate it from its northern counterpart, the Klek crossing. The current facility opened on 28 April 2013, ahead of Croatia's EU accession, built with ten lanes at each of the corridor's two crossings. As at Klek, customs checks on goods moving through the corridor are carried out here, so the crossing takes both passenger cars and freight vehicles. The village of Zaton Doli itself, part of the Ston municipality in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, has a population of only around fifty. Since Croatia joined the Schengen Area in January 2023, this is a full external Schengen border. The opening of the Pelješac Bridge in July 2022 gave transit traffic heading toward Dubrovnik and further south a route that bypasses the Neum corridor entirely — the detour is roughly 30 kilometres longer but avoids double border checks over a short nine-kilometre stretch. Traffic through both corridor crossings dropped sharply afterwards, by around 70 percent in the following weeks. Zaton Doli is still used by anyone driving the old coastal road or stopping in Neum.
