I have trip planned in August 2014 which has a 4 day period where I will travel from the ferry port of Bar in Montenegro, wandering northwest -ish to arrive from Slovenia into Austria. I have bike insurance with BMW (Equity Red Star), who decline to cover Bosnia and Montenegro. I have searched for information regarding a UK insurer from whom I may be able to purchase cover specifically for these countries but have had little success. I have seen a reasonably informative thread on Adventure Rider about purchasing green card (third party liability only) insurance at the borders of these countries, but the thread is some months old and does not appear to be current.
I am fairly confident in the information I have about a 10 euro charge at the Montenegro border but cannot find any reliable information about purchasing locally, the same for Bosnia. There also seems to be an opinion in Adventure Rider about the so called 'Neum corridor' which is a short section (about 6 miles) of Bosnian coastline that divides parts of Croatia. Some say you will be waved through, while other opinions state that one can expect to be stopped and have to purchase Bosnian insurance. Is this accurate? Will a green card purchased in Montenegro be valid in Bosnia?
Any up to date experience that people may have and be willing to share would be most welcome. I'm going anyway and want to spend some time in Bosnia: it would be useful to know what to expect.
Thank you Alan R
