National Roads (Albanian: rrugë nacionale, Serbian: magistralni put) are defined as " a public road officially ranked as a national road linking two or more towns and which may serve as a link to regions outside Kosovo".[2] The names of national roads usually come from the old Yugoslav naming system, but newer roads are based on other systems. Around 2015, the roads were renamed from magjistrale into nacionale.[3]
