USEFUL INFORMATION
SECURITY SITUATION – Citizens of the Republic of Serbia are advised not to travel to Ukraine due to the war situation in the country. The state of war has been extended until the end of August 2025, and a curfew is in effect from midnight to 5 a.m. The hostilities are mostly taking place in the south and east of the country, and due to constant air strikes, other parts of the country are not considerably safer either. It is also strongly advised not to travel to certain territories (the autonomous province of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, parts of Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Sumy), even to areas that are currently peaceful due to possible air strikes.
It is not recommended to visit the western region of the country (Volyn, Lviv, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Ternopil, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr) except in cases of extreme necessity. Life in these areas is nearly normal, the supply of food and energy is generally normal, except for a curfew and very rare air strikes.
TRANSPORT – Air traffic has been suspended since the beginning of the state of war. All major cities and district centres are connected by a railway network. Motorways are generally good. A green card is required to travel by car. Serbian driver's licence issued on the new form may be used for operating a motor vehicle. In case of granted temporary residence in Ukraine, it is necessary to have an international driving permit.
OTHER INFORMATION – The national currency is the hryvnia (UAH). Money can be exchanged in banks and exchange offices.
