## About Božaj – Hani i Hotit

The main road from Podgorica into northern Albania crosses the border at Božaj near Tuzi; on the Albanian side the crossing is called Hani i Hotit, and the route continues via Koplik to Shkodër. For Poles reaching Albania via Serbia, or via Bosnia and Montenegro, it is the most straightforward entry point. Cars are processed in both directions.

The 60-day data covers both directions, and queues are moderate in each. Entering Albania takes about 45 minutes on average: shortest on Tuesdays (around 40 minutes), longest on Saturdays (close to an hour), with peaks on Saturday between 1 and 3 pm. Across the day, the afternoon is worst (about 1 h 20 min) and night best (about half an hour); mornings and evenings run to roughly 40 minutes. Returning to Montenegro averages around 40 minutes, from about 35 on Tuesdays to 45 on Saturdays; close to an hour in the afternoon and around 25 minutes at night.

Božaj – Hani i Hotit is the faster of the two Montenegro–Albania crossings covered here: the coastal Sukobin – Muriqan averages about an hour and a half for entry into Albania, and more in the morning and afternoon. The sensible plan is to cross in the morning or evening and leave Saturday afternoon to others. If you are coming from the coast, for instance from Ulcinj, weigh the time saved at the border against the longer drive round via the Podgorica area.
