Notes
  1. Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognised as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states have recognised Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
  2. 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.
  3. Previously O-2 was used, it has been banned to use by transit trucks and busses since opening of Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge.
