There is some risk to your security in Serbia and we advise caution. A political process involving the Serbian authorities and the local Albanian minority has resulted in an improved security situation in southern Serbia. Events in Kosovo, however, continue to have an impact in South Serbia and in Belgrade and we recommend you check local developments before setting out.
Travellers are advised to avoid demonstrations and public gatherings and exercise caution at all times. Take special care in boundary areas with Kosovo and avoid areas of military activity.
The Serbian government does not recognise entry points from Kosovo or those on Kosovo’s external borders with Albania or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. For further information, please check the website of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There are still residual mines in the area between Presevo Valley and Kosovo. Extra care should be taken in areas bordering Kosovo and you should keep to the main roads.
New Zealanders are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
