It worked at the Novo Selo border crossing the passenger control computer system with which the normal flow of traffic at the border began. 

The computer system was down from 09:30 this morning, which is why 20 vehicles were waiting to enter and exit the country. 

From last night at midnight to 9 am, 51 passengers entered the Novo Selo border crossing on the Macedonian-Bulgarian border. Of them, 29 are Bulgarian citizens, 20 Macedonians and two Serbs. 

The crossing of the border crossing between the Republic of North Macedonia and the Republic of Bulgaria, Deve Bair, is going on smoothly, after being at a standstill for more than two hours, due to a breakdown of the border control system.

The Ministry of the Interior informs that the defect in the system at all border crossings has been removed, it is ready for operation and vehicles are allowed to enter and exit the country.

Since this morning, border controls have been intensified at this border crossing by teams of the Ministry of Internal Affairs due to the celebration of the 151st anniversary of the birth of the revolutionary Gotse Delchev and the announcements by organized groups of Bulgarian citizens to attend the celebration in Skopje.

The vehicles crossing the border crossing are subject to intensified police and border controls, and due to the breakdown of the system, about fifty cars, thirty trucks and several buses stood in the column that was formed at the border crossing Deve Bair for one and a half hours to exit the country.

Some of the drivers who left due to professional obligations responded that they stood for a long time at the crossing on the Macedonian side of the border, in the cold and snowy weather.

- We have been here for an hour and a half, we are traveling to Sofia, due to professional obligations, the passengers say.

Others traveled from Kosovo to Bulgaria, also because of work obligations, and bus and truck drivers were also impatient.

- We have been waiting for an hour, I am driving a regular line Skopje - Sofia, there are also ten passengers waiting in the bus, we should have reached the final destination at 12 o'clock, said one of the bus drivers.

Only two vehicles entered North Macedonia from Bulgaria after the system became operational.

There is no greater frequency of vehicles and passengers on GP Novo Selo
