Notes (2014)
Pictures
Belgrade: the bus station is to the left of the train station (when you exit the train station) and it is really easy (same bus station for all buses)
1 euro= 110 dinars (2014)
To get to Studenica: Bus to Usce (1100 = 10 euros, 4.5 hours) + hitchhike or taxi the 11kms from Usce to Studenica
To go to Gracianica from Studenica: hitchhike back to Usce and take the bus to Microvice (500 dinars) then take the minivan to Gracianica that leaves from the Bishevac restaurant/hotel (20 euros for a single room)
Gracianica is actually just 10 minutes from Pristina but it is Serbian Kosovo, just like half of Mitrovice.
Cyrillic is disappearing from Serbia (and all but disappeared from Kosovo and Montenegro).
The dinar is only used in Serbia. You can pay with euros just about everything in Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo.
