Notes edit

  1. ^ The route between Montenegro and Kosovo is unclear, a problem currently shared with E65 which is concurrent with E80 on this section. The existing M-2 road that goes through Bijelo Polje continues northwards through western Serbia as E763, away from the direction of Pristina. Instead the route needs to turn to the east some 4 km (2.5 mi) before Bijelo Polje, at Ribarevina junction, and towards Priština. After that, the route goes southeast, throrugh Berane and Rožaje, where the route winds slightly northwards again, goes through western Serbia near Tutin, and then enters Kosovo near Zubin Potok.
  2. ^ Previously   O-2 was used, it has been banned to use by transit trucks and busses since opening of Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge.
