WarningMost visits to Macedonia are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places visited by foreigners.
Travelers
should exercise caution if intending to travel to the northern and western border regions of Macedonia. A major police operation against local criminals commenced on 7 November 2007 in the northwest region of Macedonia, close to the Popova Sapka ski resort. Access to this area is currently sealed off. Travelers should avoid this area whilst the police operation remains in progress.
Macedonia shares with the rest of Europe a threat from international terrorism. Travelers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places visited by foreigners.
Sporadic acts of violence do still occur in Macedonia, particularly in the north, but also including Skopje.
In August/September 2006 The Albanian political party, DUI, temporarily blocked several main arterial roads in northeastern Macedonia. The roadblocks have been lifted but DUI have not ruled out holding similar protests again. Those who visit this area should be aware that this may considerably add to your journey time and should consider alternative routes where possible.
There is also the possibility that any future political protests could turn violent. Travelers should exercise vigilance and caution and avoid large crowds and demonstrations.
