Foreign Office travel warning for Britons in Serbia

A statement on the Foreign Office portal said that terrorist attacks in Serbia cannot be ruled out. “In June 2024, a lone attacker fired at a police officer with a crossbow outside the Israeli Embassy in the Savski Venac area of Belgrade,” it said.

“Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners. Terrorists may target religious sites, including churches. There may be increased security in place during festive periods and other major events that might attract large crowds. Remain vigilant and follow the advice of the local authorities,” the warning said.

It also warned of a potential for disturbances in Belgrade and other towns and cities. “There have been mass gatherings in Belgrade and other cities since May 2023. Further gatherings are planned. These can cause significant disruption, including to public transport,” it said.
