Moving between North Macedonia and Serbia — KOMBI-KOMBI international movers

North Macedonia is Serbia's southern neighbour, and with the E75 motorway running straight through Vranje to the Tabanovce crossing it is one of the cheapest international routes we run. Both countries are in the CEFTA free trade area.

Why move with KOMBI-KOMBI

  • 13+ years on the North Macedonia – Serbia route
  • A fixed price written into the contract (CMR), with cover against breakage, theft and road accidents
  • Door to door — packing, dismantling, transport, reassembly and customs paperwork

More about the company and how we work is on our services page.

Cities we move from and to

The Serbian community lives mainly in Skopje, Kumanovo and Štip, and there is steady business traffic in both directions.

What to plan for

  • Motorway all the way. The E75 through Niš and Vranje to Tabanovce makes this an easy route to schedule, five hours from Belgrade and three from Niš.
  • Same-day delivery. Skopje and Kumanovo are comfortably a one-day job. Ohrid and Bitola add two hours and are sometimes an overnight.
  • Business traffic. Office and shop relocations are frequent on this route; we schedule those outside working hours where it matters.
  • Small consignments. Short distance means groupage here is among the cheapest we offer.

How the move works

  1. A free survey and a fixed quote — over the phone, by Viber or WhatsApp, or from photographs of your belongings
  2. Packing, dismantling and loading on the agreed date
  3. Transport and customs — our team handles the paperwork at the border
  4. Delivery, reassembly and unpacking at the new address

North Macedonia – Serbia moving costs in 2026

The price depends on the volume of your belongings (m³), the distance to the city, the floor and whether there is a lift, and on extras such as packing, storage or dismantling. The table below shows indicative prices for a full van of up to 12 m³, which suits a flat of 40–60 m²:

FromToDistanceTimeFrom
BelgradeSkopje440 km~5hfrom €530
NišSkopje230 km~3hfrom €330

These are starting prices, calculated per kilometre driven. A full service with movers, packing and reassembly runs at €1.5–1.9 per kilometre; groupage is charged by the space your load takes up rather than by distance.

Paperwork and customs

North Macedonia and Serbia are both in the CEFTA agreement, which governs the movement of goods between them. Relief from duty on used personal and household effects in a change of residence depends on the rules of the country you are moving to and on the documents you provide — we prepare the inventory, and you will need your ID card or passport.

The crossing is at Preševo–Tabanovce on the E75, and we handle the formalities on your behalf.

Packing and protecting your furniture

We use proper packing materials and give fragile items — glass, pictures, musical instruments — extra protection with cardboard corners and furniture blankets.

Groupage transport

For smaller consignments — a few boxes, a handful of furniture items, parcels — you share the van with other customers and pay only for the space you use. See how groupage transport works and when the next departures are.

Specialist services

  • VIP moves for clients who need discretion and a tighter schedule
  • Specialist loads — pianos, safes, works of art
  • A full door-to-door service, with everything handled for you
  • Storage in our climate-controlled warehouse in Belgrade
  • Office and business relocations

All of these are described on the services page.
