Can anyone tell me if they have travelled through Serbia to get to Bg lately and if so was it ok.
I have friends looking to travel this route soon.

jenny...google serbia travel advice, its got upto date information on travelling through serbia, it also has some info on the political unrest reguarding kosovo. worth a read and i think it would put me off to be honest.

Yikes !! I don't think I would be bothering either. Thanks for that Starlite I will let my friend know.

it does put you off just a little.

Darrell's in England at the moment, but last August he drove back from England through Serbia and he had no problems at all.He did have to buy Insurance for the car as they are not in Europe. It's a months insurance and it cost about 115 Euros. He said the road was good, and there were quite a few3 other English people in other cars.

I've been that way a few times and to be honest its a mixed bag sometimes you can sail through and others it can be a nightmare I always found it much easier to go thorough Greece

Brother in law just come back he went via Serbia but said never again - Insurance cost him 200 Euro and they escorted him to the border, then they wanted another 200 for their trouble. He said they kept him there for about 2 hours as he would not pay that amount, he gave them the 49 euros he had. But as Krypton says 'sometimes you can sail through and others it can be a nightmare'

Sounds like Serbia is to be avoided then

Best of luck Jen on which ever route you take. Let us know how you get on please ::
