    Warning
    Most visits are trouble-free.

    On 17 February 2008 the Government of Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. The overall security situation in Serbia remains calm, though there is an increased risk of sporadic incidents and a high likelihood of political protests. Several embassies and border posts have seen violent protests. Travelers are advised to exercise extreme caution when traveling around, keep a low profile and avoid public gatherings, political rallies, protests and polling stations, and pay close attention to local media reports.

    Residual landmines and other unexploded ordnance remain in Serbia. You should exercise caution when traveling within the Presevo and Bujanovac districts of South Serbia.

    The Serbian authorities will not allow you to travel into Serbia from Kosovo unless you began your journey in Serbia and are returning there directly. Following the declaration of independence by Kosovo, crossing of the land border between Serbia and Kosovo may be problematic or subject to demonstrations and protests.

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

    When visiting Serbia, you must register with local police within 24 hours of arrival. If you are staying in a hotel or official tourist accommodation, you will be registered automatically on check-in. If you do not register you risk a fine, detention or a court appearance.

    You should carry your passport at all times for identification purposes.
