Croatian Hungarian border
region
Border controls and
cross-border mobility
(Reduced crossings
points, type of controls,
congestion, CB public
transport…)
After the pandemic started in Hungary, in the first two weeks there
was a complete border closure on the Hungarian side. After a while,
cross-border workers as well as those Croatian citizens who own
vineyards in Hungary were allowed to cross the border so they could
continue their work-related activities.
Cross-border public transport was not stopped during this period.
CB coordination and
dialogue during the
crisis and the de-con-
tainment phase
(Evolution in border con-
trols and effects of the
lifting of border controls)
Decisions appeared to be exclusively taken at a national level. There
was only a minimum cross-border coordination: even the several
twin settlements relations became looser.
The experience showed that, in a pandemic situation, the hierarchy
is so strict that CB organisations such as EGTCs can only partic-
ipate in the executive phase and in the prevention and not in the
phase of designing or shaping the responses.
Impact on cross-bor-
der workers
(Remote working and
taxation, social security,
unemployment…)
Workers were allowed to cross the border shortly after the border
closure. However, many people (especially from South Zala) worked
in Croatian and Austrian tourism and hospitality businesses. Since
these facilities closed immediately, many employees lost their jobs.
Impact on the users
of cross-border public
services (CPS)
(healthcare, information
to citizens, education…)
The level and number of real cross-border public services are rela-
tively low along this border section and thus the impact was not
measurable.
