How the 1–5 index is calculated
We ask our own nakordoni.eu API for air-raid alerts within 250 km of this crossing’s coordinates. The source ties alerts to raions and we place each one on the centre of its oblast — so the distance in the table is the distance to the centre of that region, not to the alert itself.
The index takes the closer of two things: the nearest region under an active alert, and the nearest tracked airborne object. 5 means closer than 50 km, 4 up to 100 km, 3 up to 160 km, 2 up to 220 km, 1 up to 250 km. If the alert is in the very region this crossing stands in, the index is never below 4 — that is the region you are driving into.
The data is deliberately not real-time: the API answers with a 1–3 minute delay, plus up to 90 seconds of our own cache. The exact time of the snapshot is always stated above.

What kind of crossing this is
Zakarpattia, a village that the border cut in half after the Second World War: Mali Selmentsi remained in Ukraine, Veľké Slemence in Slovakia. Families ended up on opposite sides of the line, and for decades reaching your neighbours meant a detour through other crossings. The pedestrian crossing here opened only in 2005, and for local people it was an event they still talk about.
This post is unlike every other crossing on the site, because it is not a road crossing at all. Only pedestrians and cyclists are processed — a car cannot be taken through Mali Selmentsi in any category whatsoever. The queue is therefore measured on a completely different scale: a handful of people with bags, not rows of vehicles.
We receive no live load data from this post, so no waiting time is shown on the page — we will not put an approximate figure in place of a measured one. In practice this rarely causes difficulty: pedestrian traffic here is light and steady. If you do need to cross by car, the nearest working options are Uzhhorod and Malyi Bereznii.
This crossing handles: On foot.
You can cross here on foot — 3 of the 3 crossings on this border allow it.
There is no separate coach lane here.
Right now it ranks 2 of the 3 crossings on this border that report data: 15 min outbound against 15 min at the fastest one (Malyi Bereznii – Ubla).
