Visitors entering with tourist visas must also have hotel vouchers. Anyone staying longer than three days must register with a hotel or sponsor. Note: Entry to Serbia via Pristina Airport, Kosovo, has a different set of requirements, which visitors to Kosovo must check for their individual circumstances before traveling.

Health
Serbia, in particular Kosovo, suffers from a shortage of medicines and essentials, and there are several health risks for travelers. Recommended vaccinations for visitors to Serbia are Hepatitis A, typhoid (except for very short-term visitors who restrict their meals to major restaurants and hotels), and influenza vaccine during 'flu season' (November to April). A reciprocal health care agreement entitles British nationals to free emergency treatment in Serbia, but comprehensive travel health insurance is strongly recommended for all visitors because of the insufficient and under-funded medical facilities. Cases of rabid foxes and dogs have been reported in parks and the outskirts of major cities, and bird flu has been identified in the Sombor area of north-eastern Serbia. Tap water and unbottled beverages should not be consumed, and food should be well prepared and well cooked. In the countryside precautions should be taken against tick infestation.
Safety
Politically, Serbia is relatively stable after years of violent civil/ethnic strife, but it is still advisable to avoid all public gatherings and demonstrations. Those traveling to the south and UN-administered Kosovo are advised to check the local situation before departing and register with the local authorities on arrival. Street crime is common in the larger cities so it is wise to take sensible precautions with valuables.
