TRAVEL REPORTYugoslavia (FRY)
29/1/2002
The Consular Affairs Bureau of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) provides: (a) destination-specific Travel Reports and (b) weekly Travel Bulletins highlighting current "hot spots" and time-sensitive information.
Current information is available from the Department through the following means: telephone: 1-800-267-6788 or 613-944-6788; Internet: www.voyage.gc.ca/destinations/menu_e.htm; e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; FaxCall: 1-800-575-2500 or 613-944-2500; and TTY: 613-944-1310. Information may also be obtained from Canadian diplomatic offices overseas.
Cancelling a scheduled trip abroad could cost you money. Before cancelling a scheduled trip, you should discuss the matter with your travel agent, travel insurer, or the airline. The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller.
ATTENTION
Canadians should exercise caution in the border area with Kosovo and avoid all areas of military activity.
A separate Travel Report has been issued for Kosovo. Canadians planning to travel to this area should view the report at www.voyage.gc.ca/destinations/report_e.asp?country=FRY+(Kosovo).
GENERAL CONDITIONS
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) (capital: Belgrade) is located in southeastern Europe and is bordered by Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.The country consists of two republics: Serbia and Montenegro. Since June 1999, Kosovo - a province of Serbia - has been under the administrative control of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).Tourist facilities are widely available, but conditions may vary outside major cities. The official language is Serbian.
The change in government resulting from the September 24, 2000, elections has taken place, but the possibility of civil unrest remains. Canadians should avoid large crowds and demonstrations, and contact the Canadian Embassy in Belgrade (see below) or the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade via e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for the latest security information.
Canadians staying in private dwellings must register with police immediately upon arrival. Failure to do so may result in a fine, incarceration, and/or expulsion from the country.
Crime has increased, especially in urban centres. Pickpockets are active at airports. Thefts and carjackings are common. Four-wheel-drive vehicles are frequently targeted. Exercise caution and ensure personal belongings are secure, particularly when riding public transportation and walking in city centres.
Drive defensively, as road conditions are different from those in Canada. Traffic accidents are a common cause of death and injury. Damaged infrastructure and unexploded ordnance pose hazards. The Ibarska Magistrala and Moraca Canyon roads are dangerous due to poor road conditions and traffic congestion. Roadside assistance is available by calling 987. Other emergency numbers are: police: 92; fire: 93; and ambulance: 94. Public transportation is old and overcrowded. Taxi fares should be determined in advance or meters should be used.
Drivers of vehicles bearing foreign licence plates must pay a fee of between US$22 and US$395 (depending on the length of time in Yugoslavia) for compulsory third-party Green Card insurance. All tolls must be paid in hard currency. The posted speed limits are strictly enforced. There have been incidents where police have targeted vehicles with foreign plates, often demanding immediate cash payment for alleged traffic violations. If stopped for no apparent reason, Canadians should request a full explanation and, if this is not forthcoming, request permission to speak to the Canadian Embassy in Belgrade. Always carry identification.
Belgrade is now open to international flights. Periodic disruptions of bus and international rail services could occur without warning.
Local currency is the Yugoslav new dinar (YD). It is accepted only in Serbia. Banking facilities are limited. Traveller's cheques (American Express) are honoured at a few banks in Belgrade, including the Komercijalna Banka AD, Micro Finance Bank, and the Vojvodjanska Banka. Only two major hotels in Belgrade accept credit cards (Hyatt Regency Belgrade and Intercontinental Beograd). Visa card authorities have cancelled the use of Visa cards in the FRY. Cancellation of other credit cards could occur without notice. Travellers are advised to carry sufficient cash in Deutschmarks or U.S. dollars.
Upon arrival, all visitors must obtain and complete a stamped customs declaration for all imported currency and valuables. Failure to produce the stamped declaration upon departure will result in delays and/or seizure of all currency and valuables.
Canadians with ties to the FRY and permanent residents in Canada who hold Yugoslav citizenship could be subject to forced conscription if they visit the country. They could also be charged with draft evasion, which carries a lengthy sentence on conviction. Such persons should ensure that the issue of their draft status is resolved before they visit Yugoslavia.
For information on international adoption, contact the authorities of the province or territory in which the child will reside, as well as Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). Entry into Canada can be refused if the child does not hold an immigrant visa. Such a visa will not be issued without the prior approval of the province/territory of residency. Obtaining this approval from outside the country can be a difficult and lengthy process. Permission may be denied even if the adoption has been finalized overseas. For further information, call 1-888-242-2100 (in Canada only) or check the CIC Web site (www.cic.gc.ca).
Radio Canada International (RCI) broadcasts on shortwave to the FRY. For a schedule of times and frequency of broadcasts, check the RCI Web site (www.rcinet.ca). You may also e-mail RCI at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 514-597-7555.
You should:
a) carry a Canadian passport for all visits outside Canada, including to the USA. It should be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your expected return to Canada;
b) keep a photocopy of your passport's identification page with you;
c) carry passports, tickets, and money separately;
d) keep valuables and passports safe and carry only enough money for anticipated expenses;
e) leave a copy of your itinerary and proof of citizenship with family and/or friends;
f) carry legally certified documentation signed by both parents permitting a child under 18 to travel alone, with an adult, or with one parent. In the latter case, custody documentation may also be required; and
g) not visit unknown or isolated areas without first obtaining information or assistance.
You are subject to local laws. A serious violation may lead to a jail sentence. The sentence will be served in local prisons.
Canadians arrested or detained have the right to contact the responsible Canadian government office (embassy, high commission, etc.) listed below. Arresting officials have a responsibility to assist you in doing so. Canadian consular officials can provide a list of local lawyers upon request.
The Canadian Embassy in Belgrade reopened on October 21, 1999. Canadians in the FRY can obtain consular assistance and further information from the Canadian Embassy at the following address:
Kneza Milosa 75, 11000 Belgrade, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (country and area codes: 381-11/ tel.: 306-3000/ after hours tel: 306-3050/ fax: 306-3042/ e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
The Visa section in Belgrade is operating normally for non-immigrant cases (visitors, temporary workers, and students). Immigration cases are being processed by the Canadian Embassy in Vienna.
Canadians should register with the Canadian Embassy if they are going to be in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for longer than three months. Registration can be done on-line. To register on-line, please proceed to www.voyage.gc.ca/Consular-e/SOS/rocapage-e.htm and complete all the required fields.
For emergency assistance after hours, call the Canadian Embassy in Belgrade and follow the instructions. You may also make a collect call to the Department in Ottawa at 613-996-8885.
If you are travelling on business, you can request a face-to-face briefing with an officer of the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service abroad to discuss the latest business developments in this market. To set up a meeting, contact the office of the Trade Commissioner Service responsible for this territory at least two weeks before your departure. Consult our Web site to learn more about our services, to access hundreds of market studies, or to contact us electronically (www.infoexport.gc.ca).
INFORMATION FROM HEALTH CANADA'S TRAVEL MEDICINE PROGRAM
Health Canada and the World Health Organization report that the following diseases - among others - can occur in the FRY: hepatitis A, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever.
Canadians are advised to consult a physician or travel medicine specialist well in advance of travelling to determine health risks. Important factors to be considered include the individual's state of health, current immunization status, and travel destination, as well as the local disease situation. Vaccinations and other special precautions may be required. For a list of travel medicine clinics, call Health Canada's Travel Medicine Program at 613-957-8739. Additional travel health information is available on Health Canada's Web site (www.TravelHealth.gc.ca) or through its FAXlink service at 613-941-3900 (use the fax handset and follow the instructions).
Travellers should ensure that their routine (childhood) immunizations (eg. tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles) are up-to-date. Yellow fever vaccination may be required to enter some countries. Based on the risk of exposure, vaccines for hepatitis A, typhoid fever, or other diseases may also be recommended. Several diseases occur globally. Sexually transmitted diseases(STDs), including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B, occur throughout the world, and the traveller may be exposed to both viral and bacterial infection, particularly if engaging in unprotected sexual activity. Tuberculosis represents a significant risk at certain destinations. Influenza is also a concern, and immunization may be recommended depending on the destination and time of year. Rabies is found throughout the world and is uncontrolled in some areas; risk of exposure may be higher in remote areas. Traveller's diarrhea can be caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites in contaminated food and water. Travellers are advised to ensure that food and drinking water are safe.
Infectious diseases not routinely seen in Canada occur and may even be widespread in other countries. Infections acquired abroad such as tuberculosis, diarrhea, STDs, among others, may be resistant to standard North American antibiotic regimens. Standards of medical care may differ from those in Canada. Treatment may be expensive and payment in advance required. Travellers are advised to arrange for medical insurance, including provision for emergency evacuation, prior to departure. Travellers should also carry their prescription medicine in the original container along with the prescription.
If you feel ill when you return to Canada, see a doctor as soon as possible. Inform the doctor - without being asked - where you have been. If you were ill while travelling, tell your doctor what your symptoms were and what treatment you received.
HEALTH CONDITIONS - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Carry a sufficient supply of medications as medical facilities are generally not equipped and maintained to Western standards.
HEALTH PLANS
Do not rely on your provincial health plan to cover all expenses if you get sick or are injured while abroad. It may cover nothing or only a portion of the costs. Understand the terms of your supplementary insurance policy. Some credit cards offer their holders health and travel insurance. Do not assume the card alone provides adequate coverage. Carry details of your insurance with you. Also, tell your travel agent, a friend or relative at home, and your travelling companion how to contact your insurer. Get a detailed invoice from the doctor or hospital before you leave the country. Always submit original receipts for any medical services or prescriptions received abroad. Most insurance companies will not accept copies or faxes.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Permission to enter another country is the sole prerogative of that country. All countries have special requirements for persons intending to reside for extended periods (usually more than 90 days) or who plan to work, study, or engage in non-tourist activities. Contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the country or countries to be visited and obtain the specific requirements for entry. Conditions are subject to change.
Selling, altering, or allowing another person to use your passport is a criminal offence. It could lead to the laying of charges and imprisonment if convicted. It could also lead to the denial of future passport services.
A valid Canadian passport is required for Canadians intending to visit the FRY.
Until March 31, 2002, Canadians visiting the FRY for under 30 days do not require a tourist visa. Thirty-day tourist passes will be issued upon arrival at the border or airport, at a cost of approximately C$7. Canadians intending to remain in the FRY for longer than 30 days still require a tourist visa. Effective April 1, 2002, all Canadians travelling to the FRY will again require visas. Visas can be applied for at Yugoslav diplomatic or consular offices abroad.
Tourist Visa: Not required (see above)
Business Visa: Required
Student Visa: Required
The Ministry of the Interior does not extend visas issued abroad to dual or possible dual nationals. In most cases, dual nationals must leave the country and obtain a new visa before they will be allowed to return.
For further information, contact the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 17 Blackburn Street, Ottawa, ON, K1N 8A2 (tel.: 613-233-6289 or 613-233-6280/ fax: 613-233-7850/ e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Internet: www.yuemb.ca) or call the nearest consulate in Toronto (416-487-5776) or in Montreal (514-939-1200).
CUSTOMS
Declare everything acquired abroad, whether purchases for yourself or gifts, as well as goods bought at a Canadian or foreign duty-free store. Keep original receipts. Certain items are restricted from entering Canada. If you are considering importing meat or dairy products, plants, weapons, vehicles, exotic animals or products made from their skins or feathers, contact your local Customs Border Services Office of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca) or the Canadian Firearms Centre (www.cfc.gc.ca) beforehand for guidance. The booklet I Declare (www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/E/pub/cp/rc4044eq/rc4044-e.html#P321_21624) describes what you can and cannot bring back to Canada if you have been away for less than a year.
