A street around Novo Brdo

The infrastructure in the community is very bad. Most of the main roads are unpaved. The M-25.2 runs west of the border community of Lipjan in the direction of Pristina or Gjilan . In the future, the Autostrada R 7.1 will run parallel to the national road . This connects the capital Pristina via Novo Brdo with the Muçibaba border crossing to Serbia .
