In the Balkan region, Albania and Kosovo are classified at Level 2, which means “exercise increased caution.” Serbia is also ranked at the same level. Meanwhile, North Macedonia and Montenegro are at Level 1, the lowest risk level, where only following normal safety measures is recommended.
The US State Department has issued travel advisories for its citizens, identifying the highest-risk countries ahead of the April travel season.
According to the State Department, Iran remains at the highest level of warning, Level 4 "Do Not Travel," due to risks related to terrorism, unrest, kidnappings, and arbitrary arrests of American citizens.
The update comes at a time of heightened tension in the Middle East, following coordinated US strikes on Iranian targets in recent months. As a result, several neighboring countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain have been raised to Level 3, which means the recommendation to reconsider travel.
