Travel - Internal
AIR: Yugoslav Airlines (JU) and Montenegro Airlines both offer connections between Belgrade and Podgorica.
Departure tax: N.Din240.
RAIL: Internal rail services are generally poor. Services are often overbooked, unreliable and unsafe. Destinations accessible by rail include Subotica, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Nis, Pristina and Bar. For further information, contact Belgrade Coach Station (tel: (11) 644 455).
ROAD: Drivers should not rely on local petrol stations for fuel, owing to shortages of oil, although hard currency might make otherwise rationed and scarce petrol available. Spare parts are very difficult to obtain. Driving at night is not advisable, owing to the poor condition of the roads. Coach: Efficient and cheap coaches used to connect all towns. The fuel shortages have restricted the services severely. Taxi: Main cities have metered taxis. Car hire: Available from airports and main towns. Regulations: Traffic drives on the right. Speed limits are 120kph (75mph) on motorways and 100kph (62mph) on other roads. Road signs may be poorly marked and new signs are likely to be in Cyrillic script in some areas of the country. Documentation: Full national driving licence is accepted. No customs documents are required but car log books and a Green Card are necessary. Third party insurance can be taken out at the border when travelling to Kosovo.
URBAN: There are good bus services in the main towns, with tramways and trolleybuses in Belgrade. Multi-journey tickets are available and are sold in advance through tobacconists. The passenger punches the ticket in a machine on board. Fares paid to the driver are at double the pre-purchase prices.
TRAVEL TIMES: The following chart gives approximate travel times (in hours and minutes) from Belgrade to other major cities/towns in Serbia and Montenegro.
