Among the mentioned border crossings are the first joint locations crossings on the territory of one country, with policemen and customs officers from both countries working there. These are Slum – Rakitovec and Draše – Nova Vas ob Sotli, located on the Slovenian territory. Two such crossings are near completion on the Croatian side: Sv. Martin na Muri – Hotiza and Kašt – Radovica, that will open early-May 2004.

The crossing of the border is possible for citizens of all countries with the one-time crossing permit (25 kunas) that can be bought at the border crossing. Only passenger crossing with luggage is possible at these crossings, not import or exports of goods.
