Kumanovo is one of Macedonia’s
largest city located in the middle of a 35 km long valley to the northeast of
Skopje. It is well known for its unique blend of Serbian and Macedonian
culture evidenced by the feisty fun-loving Kumanovci (as the residents are
called). The city and its outlying villages represent Macedonia’s exceptional
multi-ethnic blend containing as they do Albanian, Roman, Serbian and Turkish
minorities.
Kumanovo is located at the junction
of E-75 and E-871 routes. The 40 kilometer highway exists between Skopje and
Kumanovo, going near Kumanovo in the north and crossing the border with Serbia.
A railway also connects Skopje with Kumanovo and Serbia. E-871 is the other
important road that goes from Kumanovo to Kriva Palanka and then to the border
with Bulgaria.
