Serbia and Montenegro are former republics of Yugoslavia which, although moderately developed, currently suffers shortages of critical material such as gasoline, due to United Nations economic sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro. There are long delays at the border when entering the country by car. Because of U.S. economic sanctions, U.S. operations of JAT, the Yugoslav national airline, have been suspended. There are no international flights into or out of Belgrade. Entry permission is granted at entry points with no prior visa required.
Most medicines are unobtainable.
U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside the United States. Travelers have found that in some cases, supplemental medical insurance with specific overseas coverage has proved to be useful. It provides useful information on guarding valuables and protecting personal security while traveling abroad. U.S. economic sanctions on Yugoslavia prohibit imports, exports and all other commercial transactions that are not humanitarian in nature. For further information, travelers can contact the Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department.
