Could anyone answer to me how long does it take to get from Sarajevo to Pristina and is there any bus line from Pristina to Ohrid? Thnx.

Our son is going to be in Pristina all summer. We would like to plan to visit him halfway through. I'm having a hard time figuring out where would be the easiest place to meet him. That meaning, where is it easiest for him to get to.
Can he easily get to Dubrovnik and how long would it take him? Would Venice be better? Is there something faster for him? I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hello All. Thanks for any help with my question. My son is interning in Pristina this summer and we would like to meet in Venice late July. Is this an easy place for him to reach? Any suggestions on the best way for him to get there.

hello there!
My name is Sophie. I am a student doing an internship in Pristina with a legal aid provider. I will be here until mid-June and was wondering if anyone was in a similar situation and would like to meet up! If yes, send me an e-mail at sophie.berner@hotmail.com.
All best,

I'm planning a trip to Albania and Kosovo in August, hopefully lasting about ten days. I'm flying from London to Tirana, then flying back to London from Pristina (bizarrely, this comes to £600 less than doing it the other way round).

I don't really know where to start with questions about Kosovo! Any advice at all, or any links pointing to advice, is really, really welcome.

Thanks

Hi,
I once travelled with a shuttlebus (minivan) from Belgrade to Prishtina. The bus went regularly from Novi Sad to Belgrade and entered Kosovo at Podujevo. The final destination was Gracanica.
Somehow I remember the name "Beni" connected to that shuttle, but I could be wrong. Does anyone know that shuttle, have the contact details, happen to know, if it is still operating?
Thank you

Hi everybody
Ialong with 3 friends intend to travel to Athens and Thesseloniki on 08-05-08 around 2000 hrs from Pristina.Can anybody guide me about the Bus travel(Travel time,fare,place from where we can get buses etc).you may also suggest if there are alternative economical modes of transport 2 these places.Will be grateful 4 your advice.

I want to 'risk' to see few places (Pec', Visoke Decani, Gracanica, Prizren) late this Summer/Fall. Entering will be on U.S. passport (hihihi), with a car licensed in California (hope, can re-register my cars in Oregon before we leave). The car will have, however, European insurance with proper "green card" valid in AL, SRB, MK, CG (to name few places).

However, it seems, there is an insurance scam going on in Kosovo. See this:

How to deal with that properly?

Do not want to go into political debates - everyone knows my stance.

This is just a practical question.

I'm looking to catch a bus from Montenegro to Pristina and I was wondering what connections there were. I have heard there might be a bus from Ulcinj and if so, does anybody know the times of departure/arrival? Also it would be great to know if there if there's a chance to catch a bus from anywhere else in Montenegro to the Kosovan capital. Many thanks!

Hi, I have a question. I live in Turkey but have been traveling through the Balkans for 5 weeks and I'm looking for the easiest way to get from Pristina to Istanbul. I'm probably entering Pristina from Belgrade, should I (or can I) head back up to Belgrade and take the train back to Turkey from there or is there an easier way?

Also, I'm an American girl traveling alone so is that a consideration I should take into account in deciding on a route back?

Hi, I've been reading in some places that you don't need visa but you need a kind of paper saying the reason of your trip to Kosovo. In the article of the administration of KOSOVO it says you must show documents in case you travel for studies, bussiness or relatives in Kosovo, but it says nothing about tourism....

What do I need then for going as tourist?

thanks

Dear All:

I'm quite confused about the different routes to Kosovo.
Where is the usual, easy and safe way to enter Kosovo to Pristina?
is it possible just to take a bus from Vienna to Pristina?
Do I need to check visa requirements of each country that passing through?

many thanks ..

Hi everybody!
I have a question to you all about housing in Pristina. I have just been accepted for an internship in Pristina and will arrive there in about one week and stay untill the end of the year. But so far I have had no success in finding a place to stay. My problem is that as an intern my budget is quite limited and thus cannot afford the 500 eur offers that I have had so far. I guess there must be a lot of interns in Pristina facing the same problem as I? How do you get around? Aren't there any roomshare arrangements? Or maybe ther are local families who offer rooms for rent?

Best,

Anna Karin

Could someone please recommend a reliable taxi company in Pristina? I need to arrange transport for a friend of mine from Pristina airport to the border with Macedonia and want to make sure that he does not get ripped off.

Why this is a problem with the airlines who still demand Serbian Visa for travel to Kosovo while This is almost clear to the whole world that this is controlled by UNMIK and not by Serbia any longer ??? Any suggestions just how to reach Pristina without hassles...??? Thanks.

Hello all,
I'd like to go to Pristina in the middle of Sept for 5-6 days from Budapest preferably by train (or by bus if that's the only option). Can anyone recommend me a route and ticket agents or websites? many thanks, Olga

Would anyone be able to tell me how much it might cost to take the bus from Prishtina, Kosovo to Tirana, Albania? Also, if you would happen to know when the buses leaves, where to buy tickets, etc, that would be very helpful. Thanks

Hi there

I am trying to work out the easiest way to get from Skopje to Budva. So far I've found at that it's probably best to go via Pristina but from there are there buses or train that go anywhere near Budva?

Thanks

thanks so much

Well hello all Pristina VT members, we finally arrived here in chilly Pristina and finding my way around the place. I still have not found a map yet and have decided to try and build a bit more up to date information database as it is constantly changing and very little information is available (at least in English that I can find!). Please point me in the right direction if you know where I can buy one.

If you would like to meet up for a coffee and a yarn drop me a line and who knows maybe we can line up a pre Christmas VT meeting - a first for Pristina I believe!

Cheers, Astrawan

Trying to get some idea of the layout of the city as had to book accommodation etc online without ever having visited the place and find it a real task trying to find a decent map on the Internet.

Can someone tell me whether the bazaar is near the city centre and to the Pristina Hotel? thanks in advance.. I cannot wait to get there.

Astrawan

My husband and I are coming to Pristina for four weeks from the 26th of November so I am on the net looking for somewhere to stay.

My preference is to find a fully furnished apartment that has a kitchen so I can cook. However, our budget does not stretch to the ones offered by the either the Prishtina, the Royal or the Grand, so would prefer a one off monthly rate.

Would also appreciate any advice on how the Internet works - we both have laptops and I do a lot of work from home.

Many thanks for any advice

Hi,
I'm planning to visit Sarajevo, but I'm getting quite confused about how to get there. I've read previous posts and also I've asked at the Pristina bus station, and what I've found out is that there is a bus that leaves at 6 and goes to Sarajevo via Montenegro. I was wondering does anybody have a clue about the time table of buses FROM Sarajevo to Pristina? I want to leave Pri. on Friday October 20, and be back on Tuesday morning the lastest, so I guess I'd have to leave Sarajevo either on Sunday or Monday.

I was also wondering if anybody knows a cheap hotel or hostel in Skopje. I will be spending one or two nights there in November. I haven't managed to find any hostels on the internet.
Thanks in advance!
