SARAJEVO, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Road transport operators in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) on Monday staged protests, blocking major roads, border crossings, and customs terminals to demand an end to discrimination against BiH drivers in the European Union (EU).

At the northwestern border with Croatia, cargo traffic at the Velika Kladusa-Maljevac crossing was brought to a halt as trucks lined up in protest, while passenger traffic continued without disruption. Drivers said they wanted to draw attention to difficulties caused by the Schengen 90-day stay rule, under which overstays can lead to fines of thousands of euros and entry bans.
