Both countries have several border crossing points. Many of these points were temporarily closed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The point where the borders of Hungary, Romania and Serbia coincide is known as the "Triplex Confinium". Precisely, the towns that meet each other are Kübekháza (Hungary), Beba Veche (Romania) and Rabe (Serbia). Cultural events are held in this point every year.[4]

Border crossings

There are currently 10 functioning border crossings between the two countries, two of which are railway crossings. The following is a table of the crossing points, listed from north to south:
