WEBTEX -26 was an ambitious fast moving IBRG expedition to the Western Balkans. The 5 identified tripoints were varied and were mainly unvisited by border enthusiasts up to now. There was limited information on the internet, but at least modern digital maps gave us a good insight into what we were likely to encounter. In addition we sought to visit enclaves and exclaves, border crossings, identify border markers as well as visiting tourist areas and sights associated with the break up of Yugoslavia. It was a 1735 km road trip through 7 countries.
In total, 5 IBRG members participated on this trip from the UK (1), Denmark (4), US (1) and the Czech Republic (1). This multi country expedition focused on countries that emerged from the fragmentation of Yugoslavia: Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina spanned 12 days and involved many border crossings made more complex when 2 of the group were not EU nationals.
