Macedonia border insurance
Hi, I would visit Macedonia in the next August.
I have not insurance green card valid for Macedonia. At the border near Pogradec (Albania) nobody sells Green Card and it will be very hard for me trespass Macedonia border by other side.
Anyone knows if it's possible buy border insurance on line ?
Thank for your attention and kind answer.

Macedonia is part of the Green Card system, and so are Albania, Serbia and Greece.

Unless you are a Kosovo resident with only Kosovo traffic insurance, I can't imagine how you would get to the Macedonian border without already having the traffic insurance that allows you to get into Macedonia.
If you have insurance that is valid in Albania, it will also be valid in Macedonia. Just make sure you have the actual Green Card from your insurer, printed on green paper.

In Italy any insurance companies (especially online ones) they are valid only in European Union countries.
They don't care about the green card system.
These online companies do not even print a green card and simply write on the insurance contract "This insurance is valid only in European Union countries and is not valid for other countries outside the EU".
That is the question.
I don't know is it's legal but it happened.
In my bikers group there are two members in that situation.

You should take that paper to the Guardia di Finanza.  And https://www.consap.it/.
The EU has an Online Dispute Resolution platform for this as well: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/m...screeningphase
But if you have bought extra insurance that is valid in Albania, it must also be valid in North Macedonia.

Guardia di Finanza it has nothing to do...
Look at this article.

Insurance companies have the right to exclude countries extra SEE including Albania, Macedonia, etc ...
