Travel - Internal Air Montenegro Airlines and Yugoslav Airlines (JU) both offer connections between Belgrade and Podgorica. Departure tax: From Belgrade airport: 500 dinars. From Montenegro: 8. Rail Internal rail services are generally poor. Services are often overbooked, unreliable and unsafe. Destinations accessible by rail include Bar, Belgrade, Nis, Novi Sad, Pristina and Subotica. 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 otherwise be 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. Two notoriously bad roads are the Ibarska Magistrala and the two-lane Moraca Canyon, and these should be avoided when possible. Taxi: Main cities have metered taxis. In Kosovo, Pristina is able to provide 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, a Green Card (not valid in Kosovo) and vehicle registration/ownership documents and locally valid insurance policy 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.
