Travel Summary

Political tensions in Serbia with respect to Kosovo have risen sharply since 25 July 2011, following a police operation by Pristina authorities in the Serb-dominated north of Kosovo. British nationals due to travel to the border area, or considering crossing into northern Kosovo, should refer to the FCOâs Travel Advice for Kosovo. You should also be aware of the potential for heightened tensions and possible unrest in Belgrade and other Serbian cities, should the political situation concerning northern Kosovo deteriorate. You are advised to check regularly local and international news and this travel advice to keep aware of developments, and to avoid any large crowds and demonstrations.

The authorities in Serbia do not consider the designated crossing points with Kosovo to be official 'international' border crossing points. Since the introduction of Republic of Kosovo stamps, we are aware of incidents where foreign nationals, including those from the United Kingdom, have been denied entry to Serbia if they have these stamps in their passports, and the Serbian authorities may not allow you to travel into Serbia if you hold these stamps. We are also aware of isolated incidents where Serbian authorities have cancelled Kosovo stamps in passports of foreign nationals. Foreign nationals are less likely to experience entry problems if they travelled into Kosovo from Serbia and are returning via the same route, or are travelling via Albania, Macedonia or Montenegro (for more information visit the website of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs). See Entry Requirements.

There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

Most visits to Serbia are trouble-free. See General - Consular Assistance Statistics.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See General - Insurance.
