Description
Day tour to Kosovo from Skopje
Take a day off from Skopje and explore Kosovo, only 30 minutes from Skopje city center, on this guided full-day tour.
The Republic of Kosovo is a country in Southeast Europe with partial diplomatic recognition. Kosovo lies landlocked in the centre of the Balkans, bordered by Serbia to the north and east, Macedonia to the southeast, Albania to the southwest, and Montenegro to the west. Most of central Kosovo is dominated by the vast plains and fields of Metohija and the Kosovo field. The Accursed Mountains and Shar Mountains rise in the southwest and southeast, respectively. Its capital and largest city is Pristina.
Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and has since gained diplomatic recognition as a sovereign state by 104 states. Although Serbia does not officially recognized Kosovo as a sovereign state and continues to claim it as its constituent Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, it accepts the governing authority of the Kosovo institutions as a part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement.
