Hi

I was after some advice about other forms of transport

from Macedonia to Kosovo to Montenegro to Mostar

As the plan was to get the over night train from Beograd to Macedonia and then pick up the interrail again once in Bosnia.

I have been on a few websites to say there are bus routes between these destinations (approximately 2 hours?) however does anyone know what these services like? (timing/safety?)

Any help much appreciated

Thank-you :)

between Mac en Mostar is a VERY long busride and will need various changes. NO-not all those buses are on the www-why should they? also to/from Cerna Gora=black mountains, thus MonteNegro most routes are very seasonal: more often or only summertime-for rather obvious reason. the roads are bad, long and dusty.
start with looking at a map and decide if you want to go via Albania-then find the posts about this route-I have posted them 2 month ago or so.
What is the matter with safety? the new ''have to ask this everytime'' mantra? at least tell what aspect of safety worries you so much: theft in the bus? crashes? the bus is old and not roadworthy? the driver is drunk? well-these all sometimes happen and you never will know before if it will (99% of times not).
for the best overview and links to known bus-sites-if that is of any help: busstation.net.
you better post/ask these Qs on a general tourist/traveller website, like thorntree of lonelyplanet.com search first-most likely a general answer/description is already on
