About Gostun – Dobrakovo
The main road from Belgrade to Podgorica and Bar crosses the border at Gostun – Dobrakovo, between Prijepolje in Serbia and Bijelo Polje in Montenegro. Most drivers heading through Serbia to the Montenegrin coast come this way – including Poles who choose the route through Hungary and Serbia instead of driving down the Croatian coast. The crossing handles cars in both directions.
Sixty days of measurements reveal a clear weekly rhythm. Entering Montenegro takes a little over an hour on average, but on Monday and Saturday it is about 1 hour 40 minutes, on Sunday not much less, and on Wednesday and Thursday only 40–50 minutes. Mornings are the worst, with peaks on Monday between 8:00 and 12:00, whereas in the evening and at night the queue is short. Heading into Serbia the average is about an hour; it is longest on Sunday around midday and shortest on Tuesday and at night, when it drops below half an hour.
Of the three published Serbia–Montenegro crossings, Gostun ranks last, although the differences are not dramatic. When driving into Montenegro, aim to reach the border midweek or in the evening; on the way back, at night or in the evening rather than on a weekend afternoon. If you are heading towards Pljevlja and Durmitor, Jabuka – Ranče typically means a 20–25 minute wait, and on the route via Novi Pazar and Rožaje you can use Špiljani – Dračenovac.

A road charge is counted only where the route actually uses a toll road. A vignette is always counted, because in many countries it is required on ordinary roads too.
Where a drive uses a toll motorway, the barrier toll for that section is included in the figure, at the price the road operator publishes for it. A vignette is a flat national price.
