Oh Josie! Another delicious piece of writing. Your skill in bringing unlikely and currently for me unknown places is immense.Please keep writing like this even if I can merely only enjoy places in absentia. You bring great pleasure to others I am certain.
May you continue such enjoyment to yourself and others.
THANK YOU.

Oh boy, that’s a tough question. There are only three Balkans countries that we didn’t get to and Serbia and Kosovo are two of them. I think with ten days you would be struggling to go to just Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo to be honest, particularly if you are hoping to go to more than one town in each place. Travel takes a long time, and border crossings can hold you up further. You also need to be aware you cannot travel from Kosovo to Serbia, but you can travel in the other direction from Serbia to Kosovo.

In Bosnia & Herzegovina, I would say you need three/four days – 1 in Mostar and 2 in Sarajevo. Travel between them is about four hours each way. Of course you can cut out Mostar, just fly into Sarajevo, stay for two days then fly to Belgrade, spend a couple of days there and make your way to Pristina.

The problem is that so much of what there is to see in these countries is not in the cities and you are probably doing yourself a disservice. I would honestly choose just one or two to visit in that time frame. We spent eight days in Bosnia & Herzegovina and felt like we missed a lot of things we would like to have seen.

I am planning on 10 days end of June in the Balkans. I’ve already been to Croatia. Working with 10 days how do you recommend I split my time? Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo are a must. I’d like to add Montenegro and Albania if possible. Money is not so much an issue. Thank you!

Oh dear what a dreadful “ending” ? but sounds like you enjoyed your time there. Love those Blue Lanterns. Not a place I would visit on my own but certainly enjoyed reading about Bosnia and Herzegovina.
