This Town is Stuck in two Countries︱BAARLE NASSAU & BAARLE HERTOG

To distinguish Belgians from Dutch : You can hear the different accent when Belgians or Dutch speak English. Belgian vehicles have white numberplates with red lettering, Dutch have (cheese-) yellow numberplates with black lettering. Dutch taxis though have green plates with black numbering.

Wow this is amazing.

[@ImmigrantHubGermany]

That’s one thing to appreciate about Europe - always on a win-win arrangement.

[@flitsertheo]

Talking about win-win : neither the Dutch or the Belgian population wants to change the situation, because it attracts tourists.

[@imohamos]

I would like to know that too!! What country does the driver pay the parking ticket to? Or what country issues the parking ticket?😂

[@JohnAdegoke]

I'm thinking, they'll split it 😂

[@zeeyerhadams]

@@JohnAdegoke 😂😂😂 that’d be fun to see.

The first police unit that writes a fine will call their colleagues from the other country to come along and write a second fine.

Very interesting video and well-made., 👍🏻 I'd like to know more about the implications of the border situation on daily life. So, do they have all institutions twice, e. g. schools, doctors, fire department? Hopefully they have agreements that allow ambulances or the police to operate in the other country in an emergency. What I found remarkable was that the Dutch people in the clip refer to their country as "Holland", although technically they are part of Noord-Brabant-and in opposition to the governmentʼs rule to use only "The Netherlands" in official marketing 😊

Police, ambulance and fire departments cross the borders without problems. Not only in this city/cities, but also elsewhere over the borders with Belgium and also Germany. There are treaties in which cooporation between is arranged. When the police is chasing a car it does not stop at the border with Belgium and Germany. The police in the other country is informed and will also join the chase.

@@richardnigten9439 thank you for answering

[@flitsertheo]

@@sheaulle As for the country being called "Holland" the Dutch partially have to blame themselves for that. As seen here this man called his country Holland but you'll find it's used in company names, on trucks stating their country of origin, by Dutch tourist boards, etc ...
