Travel and transport agencies Polog And Reka

This tiny tourist agency is run by Veli Veliu, an English-speaking resident of Vejce (Vicë/Vica in Albanian) who knows the area inside out. He offers his services in summer and winter: accommodation and meals with local people in the village, excursions on foot, mountain bike, horseback or cross-country skis in the Šar mountains. To organize these, contact him by e-mail ([email protected]) or on Instagram (veliveliu). Guided tours of Tetovo, Skopje and the Matka Canyon are also available.

This bus station (Автобуска Станица/Avtobuska Stanica, Stacioni i Autobusëve) operates with official (yellow) cabs. Bus connections: 2-3/hour with Gostivar, 2/hour with Skopje (+ minibus at the traffic circle at the entrance to Tetovo), 21/day with Kičevo, 15/day with Kumanovo, 15/day with Priština (Kosovo), 10/day with Ohrid, 7/day with Debar and Struga, 7/day with Tirana (Albania), 5/day with Vlora (Albania), 4/day with Belgrade (Serbia), 4/day with Zagreb (Croatia), 3/day with Bitola, 3/day with Ulcinj (Montenegro) and 1/day with Prilep.

Created in 2020, this border crossing is located between the village of Jažince/Јажинце (approx. 900 inhabitants, almost all Albanian), or Jazhincë/Jazhinca in Albanian, in Northern Macedonia, and that of Glloboçicë/Glloboçica (approx. 800 inhabitants, almost all Albanian), or Globočica/Глобочица in Serbian, in Kosovo. It is the only road link between the Šar Mountains National Park in Northern Macedonia and the Šar Mountains National Park in Kosovo.

This border crossing (Граничен Премин Блато/Graničen Premin Blato, Vendkalimi Kufitar Bllato) isn't really interesting, as, on the Albanian side, the roads are in very poor condition, both to Peshkopi, under the western slope of Mount Korab, 19 km to the north, and to Tirana, the capital, 90 km to the southwest. Bus companies and most motorists prefer to use the Kafasan-Qafa border crossing near Struga, on the shores of Lake Ohrid. That said, a roadworks project is planned on the SH 6 road linking Tirana.

This bus station (Автобуска Станица/Avtobuska Stanica, Stacioni i Autobusëve) is well served.
