Pharmacies are limited; bring essential medications. For serious issues, the nearest hospital is in Užice (30 km away). Travel insurance covering medical evacuation is advised."

Culture

Local customs

"Serbians are warm and hospitable; greet with 'Zdravo' (hello) and a handshake. Dress modestly when visiting churches (cover shoulders and knees). Remove shoes when entering homes. Nodding means 'no' and shaking head means 'yes'—this can confuse. Tipping 10% is appreciated in restaurants. Avoid discussing politics or the Kosovo issue."
