Scams and "Tourist" Harassment
Socio-Political Risks and Terrorism
While the socio-political situation in the country can be tense at times, the overall security level is fairly good (though slightly less so near the Kosovo border due to trafficking). It’s crucial to stay away from any protests or crowds, especially in the capital.

Foreign Consulates on Site
If you encounter problems while traveling abroad, your country’s consular services can assist you. Note that if you’re an EU citizen and your country isn’t represented, you can contact any other EU member state’s representation.
