Macedonia

Macedonian police report that attacks against motorists have been occurring almost daily on the road between Tetovo and Gostivar. Incidents include shootings, car-jackings and robberies. Most of the attacks have occurred at night, prompting the U.S. Embassy in Skopje to declare the road off-limits to all staff for personal travel, and to permit official travel only during daylight hours. The areas west of the road to the Albanian border and north to the Kosovo and Serbian borders have been risky for travel for more than a year. Security has improved significantly since last year’s military conflict, but the possibility of renewed hostilities still exists.
