Tech/Engineering - Government / Politics / Police border control
Serbian term or phrase: Zaprečavanje puteva
Управа граничне полиције је, спроводећи активности на реализацији наведеног пројекта, преко својих организационих јединица, а у сарадњи са граничном полицијом Црне Горе, територијално надлежним полицијским управама, као и са представницима локалних самоуправа, извршила обилазак и опсервацију свих предвиђених локација за запречавање путева погодних за илегално прелажење државне границе између Републике Србије и Црне Горе.

Stavio sam blocking/blockade, ali čini mi se da to nije isto.

blocking/barring of paths suitable for illegal border crossing
Explanation:
запречавање путева погодних за илегално прелажење државне границе између Републике Србије и Црне Горе
=>
the "normal/legal" border crossings [on "normal" roads for cars, buses, trucks ...] are not in the scope of this term - what they have in mind here is more of the type "стазе и богазе"!

roadblock


Explanation:
Ako je fizičko zaprečavanje s ljudskom posadom, onda ne znam ima li specijalan izraz. Ovo pokriva i samo fizičko zaprečavanja, ali i s policijom ili drugim ljudstvom.

disagree  Daryo: without needing to be really an expert on the subject matter, you would not expect illegal border crossings to occur on real / proper "roads", more likely on some forest footpaths, open fields, barely recognisable trails, rivers or brooks, etc ...

disagree  Vuka Mijuskovic: to se obično zove corridors

  -> "corridors" used for defining illegal border crossing? That would be a rather unusual use for "corridor" https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=corridor // you surely can quote few texts in police jargon using this term in this context?

neutral  Daryo: could maybe work, but "routes" in your ref. is more used to talk of the whole journey from the country of origin to the destination, NOT about how to cross just one border//any quote in the right context would be a tiny little bit more convincing..
