oh boy !
I went from France to Belgium a week ago.
The border crossing buildings and the parking area are still there..

It costs money and an international agreement to demolish an area. How long is it?

It might seem like a pain in the butt to track trough RO and BG towards Istanbul but that's exactly what most of the trucks in RL do. Most people who say that it would be easier to go trough Serbia forget that Serbia is not an EU member, and the border crossings there takes much much longer, not to mention the hassle with all kinds of transit permits and customs and other paperworks, so in reality it is much easier to go trough Romania. Yes there are border crossings too but since they are internal EU borders those take much less time compared. Of course since ETS can't realisticaly simulate the real pain of non EU border crossings ingame, it will actually be faster trough Serbia, but still.

Some years ago I drove from Graz (Austria) on the A9 into Slovenia.
Also 2 or 3 years ago I made a bicycle trip to a Slovenian border point near Bad Radkersburg.

The infrastructure is still there and I believe partly used.
If something is not round, it has then edges or it is broken.

Everything will be okay in the end, and if it`s not okay, it`s not the end.

But that's not even a half-correct location. It's up to me when you show the real one picture or google street view and a picture from the blog. Maybe I'm wrong or I've missed something.

While I'm excited about this DLC finally coming and patching up a huge hole in Europe, I can't understand why SCS decided to add a small disputed non-UN member entity, but at the same time, 10 years later, didn't even announce distant plans for Greece. A country which has the sixth largest European port, a capital of 4 million people, second largest city with 2 million people, 3 out of 10 largest passenger ports, the second largest GDP in the Balkans, stunning mountain and coast roads, loads of highways, islands like Crete and Rhodes,etc.

Even Promods didn't do much with Greece after finishing the northern part 3 years ago.

Indrit did locate 4/10 viewtopic.php?p=1729683#p1729683
I confirmed it via mapillary at viewtopic.php?p=1729927#p1729927
Google satellite view shows it too https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4880087 ... a=!3m1!1e3
But streetview is from 2016, before the roundabout was done.
The roundabout sculpture, it has been placed there sometime between august 2019 and september 2020.

3Dimi's location for it viewtopic.php?p=1729660#p1729660 is not correct.

@oldmanclippy Indrit, should be as the discoverer. I only confirmed it.
NTM's B-Double Telescopic Skeletal Container Carrier. Youtube video on how it works. W & S thread.
B-Double trailer and short modes: EN 7.82 swap body, 20’ or 30’ containers.
Standalone 40' mode: EN 7.82 swap body, 20', 30', 40' or 2 x 20' trailer.

Ah I see, I recorded Indrit's location correctly but accidentally credited the wrong person. Thank you.

Pic 2 Aljaz: Slovenia-Croatia border crossing on E61
Pic 3 Adriatic Sea Team: Bogoslovija neighborhood in Belgrade, Serbia
Pic 4 indrit: A2 north of Vlorë, Albania
Pic 5 trajcevasilev94/oldmanclippy (inconclusive): SH3 west of Lake Ohrid in Albania
Pic 9 Aljaz: D40 east of Rijeka, Croatia
Pic 10 oldmanclippy: Road leading to Zenta Marina in Split, Croatia

So missing 1, 6, 7, 8, and possibly 5.
