I checked my travel information on Yugoslavia and it specifically says that a bicycle can be imported duty-free. This isn't a bad country if you can avoid the bureaucracy. Our entry on the train was amazingly easy - not even an embarkation card to fill out, no currency declaration, and not even a glance at our luggage. Unlike Russia, there are a few advertising posters, a few girly magazines, no propaganda slogans on the buildings, and quite a few small shops seem to be privately owned. There are also a lot more private cars than in Russia.
People are friendly and more likely to say hello or talk a bit than in Greece.
Pristina, Kosovo, Yugoslavia 6 July, 1977. This was a mediocre day. We had a headwind, moderately heavy traffic, and a slight upgrade. The land was varied today - first brown hills with green bushes and an occasional factory or quarry, then a narrow forested valley which open out into a wide valley planted in wheat, corn, sunflowers and other crops. In the morning we met a Dutch cyclist headed for India and after lunch met two Yugoslavs cycling from Zagreb to Athens, using Czech 10-speeds.
