Are there border checks on the Kosovo-Serbia (Mitrovica-Kraljevo) train?
Next week I'm flying to Kosovo for three days, then continuing by Train from Mitrovica to Kraljevo in Serbia.
According to the timetable, the Train only stops at the Kosovo border Station (Jarinje) for two minutes, and at the Serbian border Station (Rudnica) for one Minute, with 10 minutes travel time between the two.
So are there actually any border checks on the Train?
I hold an EU ID Card btw, so doing this route is not a problem (unlike if I had been using a passport)
Best Answer
This is not a direct answer to your question, but it might be the answer that you need.
A few months ago, I tried to cross, by public bus, from Kosovo to Serbia. Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's independence so, technically, there is no border.
The formalities took only minutes, but there was a check on both sides of the 'border'. What's more, because I am neither Kosovar nor Serb (but hold a Dutch passport), I was not allowed to cross (by the Serbs) and had to make my way to Macedonia to get into Serbia.
