Overview | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Most of the transportation in Kosovo relies on roads. The road network is overall reasonable (particularly after the rehabilitation after the 1999 conflict) except in urban areas where major congestions are a daily remainder of the considerable rise in the number of vehicle since 1999. The railways system is working but with a limited scope, mainly in the transportation of mechanizes. Some passenger transport is still active. Kosovo has an international airport, which has been operated since 2000. No data exist as per the environmental consequences of the airport on the environment. |

The transport infrastructure also underwent major improvement following the conflict thanks to foreign donation; all/most NATO destroyed bridges have been repaired, main road repaved.
