[Mr Cassandra]

I am driving back from Athens to UK had anyone driven through The Republic of Macedonia or Bulgaria lately and were there any problems?

On this video you can see the road report from Belgrade to Thessaloniki, with all the information's. In Serbian, but still useful.

I would check your car insurance to see what countries your insured to drive in. Macedonia is not in the EU and you may have to take out additional expensive insurance at the border.

Is it expensive? Many years ago a friend drove all over Europe without insurance cover for countries outside the nearby ones, France, Germany etc. He simply bought 3rd party at the borders of eastern countries and was surprised at how cheap it was. Things may have changed now but I would be interested to know.

On our last big road trip on 2016 we drove through a large slice of the balkans. At the non-EU countries we had to buy local 3rd Party insurance IIIRC it wasn't very expensive, just a few Euros for 10 days. Also, in most countries you have to buy a vignette/road tax too.

Was Macedonia part of your journey?
