My route goes straight into Mac from Kosovo so perhaps not the issue I'm imagining it to be? I'm sure I heard of fighting or something near borders though.
Flat but coastal winds?
I have high and low routes across the alps - Italy isn't flat up there though is it so I have no idea which way to go. This whole thing is a rough guess, never having cycled any of it.
My main thing is just avoiding stuff that will require on the fly rerouting. I don't care how long my route is I just don't want to get to an illegal tunnel or something and then have the stress of working out how to continue.
Not sure if this is still helpful or not as you seem to want to go futher south than Kosovo but I crossed into Macadonia from Kosovo last October without any issue on an EU passport. Crossed at Pustenik...
