I bought a 2 month pass with my girlfriend and am currently planning a trip for the end of july/start of august. We have plans to travel from Amsterdam deep into eastern europe, currently looking at Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia Herzegovina and perhaps even North-macedonia and Bulgaria.
All the way until Zagreb, the railway planner app seems to be able to find trains just fine.
However, when i try to find trains from Zagreb to Beograd or from Beograd to Skopje, the app shows no results whatsoever. How come, and where should I find these trains then?

Hey,
unfortunately there are big construction works underway in Serbia (between Novi Sad and Hungarian border) and the train (Ljubljana-)Zagreb-Beograd didn’t return since it was cancelled due to COVID. So at the moment only options are buses. Only international train at the moment seems to be the Beograd-Bar nighttrain AFAIK. So also the Beograd-Skopje train isn’t running… also no connection to Sofia in Bulgaria. Unfortunately.
In general interrail is no good option if you are doing only a Balkan trip as the options are quite limited and on many routes you have only buses…
