Border Jan 1, 1962

According to a pre-arranged day and place, the border between two countries, the People’s Republic of Macedonia and the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, opens for one day. This time, no travel documents or other documents are needed to see relatives and friends on both sides of the border. It is another opportunity to meet or another attempt to trace the separated. That day carries a lot of sadness in itself, for the elderly, it will perhaps be the last meeting, the mother will never find her son again. The day passes and the border is here again, with all its seriousness.
