Regional updates: Budapest traffic closures, Greek site access, and Serbian police digitalization
Various regional updates are reported across Hungary, Greece, and Serbia.
In Budapest, significant traffic restrictions and road closures are in effect due to August 20 national holiday celebrations. These include closures of the Chain Bridge, Margit Bridge, and several embankments and streets in the city center through late August. Additionally, roadwork on Route 11 near Szentendre is causing ongoing delays as paving operations continue.
In Greece, the Ministry of Culture has announced that over 100 archaeological sites, museums, and monuments—including Delphi, Olympia, and the Acropolis Museum—will offer free admission during special evening programs held around the August full moon.
In Serbia, the traffic police are undergoing a major digitalization process. Plans include equipping officers with body cameras, expanding drone usage for accident investigation, and providing Android-based devices for field data access. Furthermore, the Serbian Ministry of Interior has issued a warning regarding the rise of internet fraud, noting that criminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence to create more convincing scams.
