There is a direct bus from Pristina in Kosovo to the capital of Montenegro. But is is departing in the evening, arriving to Podgorica in the night.
I decided to take at first local bus Pristina-Peje /7.30 am, 2hours, 4 euro/ and then at 10 am I boarded the bus going from Peje through the border to Podgorica /12 euro, 6 hours/. It was the right choice – the views from the mountain road are great. The border checkpoints are high in the picturesque mountains.
It is sad but on the Kosovo side you will see also many abandoned and partly destroyed houses of Serbs… KFOR forces are really necessary there.
The formalities at the border of Montenegro are smooth – we even did not go out of the bus. They returned passports after 15 minutes and I entered quite new country – existing only one year…
Sorry – their capital – Podgorica is not welcoming backpackers – it is very difficult to find inexpensive accommodation here. I stay in Hotel Europa close to the railway station. They charge 30 euro /euro is the currency of Montenegro/ for least expensive single room. So I decided stay here only one night. Here is not much to see, I shall better go to the little cities on the coast…
