The E871 road towards Sofia splits off a few kilometers after Kumanovo. On Sundays, however, there are very few cars at the [[Kriva Palanka-Kyustendil border crossing]], and from Skopje on Sundays it may well be faster to go up to [[Niš]] in [[Serbia]] and then back down into Bulgaria instead of choosing this crossing.
*''After hitchhiking quite a few times out of Skopje in November and December 2011, I believe that it is best to take any bus (there are many of them going there) to Avtokomanda and leave the bus like 2 or 3 stops after Avtokomanda itself (a place where city buses are left for night). The stop is situated as soon as the bus goes off the main road leading out of the city. This will take place after passing under a bridge. Directly there you will see a petrol station which was always full of cars. I would get a lift there not more than after 5 or 10 minutes on average. I spoke few sentences in Macedonian (related to asking for a ride especially) and knew Russian so that enabled me to address all the people. So I guess there is no point in taking buses all the way to patarinas near Kumanovo etc. Half of the cars at this petrol station go to Kumanovo anyway. This is the place [http://g.co/maps/abd3e on the map]. Good luck! [[User:Rozwal|Rozwal]]''
