Some countries do ban entry if you have over-stayed, I would imagine that would be in the form of a passport stamp (along with of course writing it down in their own systems)

(Surely the passport details would also be loaded onto a "do not travel"/"do not allow entry" list)
In such a case, Ryanair (or whatever airline) would probably be charged the fee for repratriating such an unwanted passenger back to the place of origin.
That's probably true, one might also have more than 1 passport or have replaced his passport for a number of reasons

They do also serve Serbia & Montenegro, though same rules apply there for an EEA passport

Will they go and start calculating 90 out of 180 days?
