Rules in force · 5Cracked pavements and dug-up streets around the boulevard…
- Kosovo ↗Kosovo sets its own entry rules and is outside the EU and Schengen area; check the official requirements for your passport.
- Kosovo ↗If you enter Kosovo from a country other than Serbia, Serbian border officials may not allow you to continue into Serbia from Kosovo. Check both your government's Kosovo and Serbia advice before planning that leg.
- Kosovo ↗Foreign-registered and rental cars may need separate local insurance at the border; check with the rental company before crossing.
- Pristina ↗Cracked pavements and dug-up streets around the boulevard make big suitcases hard: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Pristina ↗Agree the fare or check for a running meter before you get into any taxi; pre-book the airport ride through your hotel.
