pristina

Hello - i am looking at going to Tirana next march - 7 lads on a little tour. We may get the ferry from Italy then fly back from Tirana - also may look at going into Pristina. Is there a bus that links Pristina to Tirana? If so how long and regular is it. Is Pristina safE?

Last I knew there was no direct bus from Tirana to Pristina. You may be able to go from Tirana to the border and then walk across and change to a bus in Kosovo. There is a daily flight from Tirana to the Pristina Airport. It may be cheaper and easier to fly to Skopjie Macedonia, then get a taxi to run you to the border, and then take a local bus to Pristina, you can catch one just north of the border checkpoint. Pristina is fairly safe, witht he thousands of UN, OSCE and NGO workers in the country, you will not stand out at all, and with a group of seven, you should not have any problems. Watch what you eat, some of the smaller food stands have no running water, and preparation may not be sanitary. Also if you walk, stay on sidewalks, and be extra careful in crossing the roads, traffic is heavy at times, and can be dangerous to pedestrians.
