    Even though North Macedonian allows entry with an EEA ID card and its border officials don't stamp EU/EFTA passports, that doesn't mean you can cross the border at any point! It's not an "open border". Stamp is not an issue, but if the border guards catch you crossing the border somewhere in a forest, you might spend a few days in detention and get a big fine. Absolutely not worth it.

  • @Johnnyjanko Montenegro did not offer me an exit stamp; I asked and they said it wasn't necessary. Would you happen to know if Kosovo offers an exit stamp?

  • I don't, but Kosovo also allows entry with an EEA ID card (that can't be stamped). It's actually better than using a passport, due to tensions between Kosovo and Serbia.

  • @novice The Montenegrins were wrong, they DO have to stamp foreigners on entry and exit. Clearly stated in the relevant law. Same goes for Kosovo

    @Johnnyjanko It's very specific: if last having entered Kosovo other than from Serbia, and then trying to travel Kosovo-Serbia, the Serbians will refuse entry as you entered Serbia "illegally" (with no current Serbian entry stamp). I've crossed half a dozen times with my ID card, and they only asked verbally where I entered Serbia. I usually say Surcin (Belgrade airport) and then I'm good
