The petitioner describes the problems he and other EU citizens face as former Turkish guest workers when travelling through the Member States of Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece and non-EU Member States such as Serbia and Macedonia to Turkey and on departure therefrom. Despite the fact that many of his fellow citizens have the nationality of an EU Member State, they are often detained at the border for up to 12 hours, particularly in Bulgaria and Hungary, and are subject to frequent police checks. They are able to speed up the procedure only by means of bribery. Police controls are carried out arbitrarily on journeys through Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary in particular. The diesel is doctored and service areas are not safe. He also complains about having to pay a fee of EUR 3 levied by Turkey on leaving that country.
