On 12 October 2025, the European Union launched the implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES) – a digital system that records the entry and exit of third-country nationals (TCNs) when crossing the external borders of the Schengen area.
The purpose of the system is to make border checks faster and more secure by replacing passport stamps with an electronic record.

Travellers who are not EU citizens and who enter the Schengen area are now required, upon their first entry, to pre-register in the EES system.

More information is available on the official websites:

Osijek Airport, in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia, continues to inform passengers and airlines about the ongoing implementation of the new system.
