The U.S. Embassy in Zagreb is located at Andrije Hebranga 2, tel 444-800. A state of war resulting in deaths, destruction, food shortages and travel disruptions affecting roads, airports and railways make travel to all parts of Bosnia-Hercegovina extremely hazardous. Travel to Sarajevo, Mostar and the religious shrine at Medjugorje, is particularly dangerous. General lawlessness and deteriorating economic conditions have brought an increase in crime. Adequate police response in the event of an emergency is doubtful.
Roadblocks manned by local militias are numerous.
These militia groups frequently confiscate relief goods and trucks, and may otherwise behave unprofessionally. U.S. citizens visiting or remaining in Bosnia-Hercegovina, despite the Warning, can register at either the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade or in Zagreb and obtain updated information on travel and security within the area.
