The R 6 Motorway (Albanian: Autostrada R 6; Serbian: Autoput R 6), also commonly Autostrada Prishtinë-Han i Elezit and Autostrada Prishtinë-Shkup or Autostrada Arbën Xhaferi, is a motorway in Kosovo running 60 kilometres (37 mi) in the districts of Ferizaj and Pristina.^[1] The motorway connects Pristina with Skopje in North Macedonia.

The motorway is named in honour of the Albanian politician and activist from North Macedonia, Arbën Xhaferi.^[2] Part of the Southeast European route 6 and European route 65, it consists of two traffic lanes and an emergency lane in each driving direction separated by a central reservation.^[3][1]
