According to forum posts, there are frequent bus services connecting major cities in Kosovo. Buses from Pristina to Prizren run every 20 minutes and take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Some travelers mentioned that there are direct buses from Pristina to Sarajevo, operated by Balbus, departing around 18:00 and arriving the next morning. There are also hourly buses from Pristina to Prizren and from Skopje to Ohrid, making these routes highly accessible for travelers.

Travelers have also mentioned that exiting Kosovo to Macedonia or Albania does not pose legal issues, as long as one does not need to return to Serbia directly from Kosovo without first entering from another recognized entry point like Serbia.
