Traffic
The placement of Stapari has made this village sort of gate of Uzice as it a crossroad for main roads that connect different countries. The road that connects Solun and Sarajevo, Užice and Višegrad. The railway Stalać-Sarajevo and Belgarde-Bar and the airport of Ponikve. We can say that you could use all means of the transport except for the boat to come to Stapari. This could sound silly but we should not ignore the fact that the boroughs with these advantages are very rare in Serbia, and not to mention the villages.
