Crossing from Serbia into Kosovo
Hi all,I've heard some conflicting information on this - how easy and/or safe is it to enter Kosovo via the Serbian border. I'm planning over the next few weeks to travel from Mostar to Pristina - one way of doing this would be via Sarajevo and Novi Pazar, but I've seen some reports of difficulties at the border, and the northern part of Kosovo being the most dangerous. The alternative would be via Dubrovnik and Podgorica - is that a safer bet?
Thanks
MJ

There are no safety issues to worry about there in the north of Kosovo.There were protests there more than a year ago (on the "border" posts), but I guess you're not interested into their background. Since almost a year ago, everything is more than normal.
Northern part of Kosovo usually refers to four municipalities that are still administred and absolutely under control of republic of Serbia. There are no special safety precautions for going there that I know of.

I took the night bus from Sarajevo through Novi Pazar and on to Pristina in Oct 2012. No dramas at all. Routine passport formalities at borders. I stop for a food/drink break about 20 mins.ADVERTISEMENT
