Location: Kosovo.
Event: There are currently no scheduled flights departing Pristina.
UPDATE. A sold out flight departs for Zurich today, as we previously advertised. Although there are other flights this week, neither of them are open to American citizens or residents because of transit or foreign government restrictions. We will provide updates via STEP if/when we receive additional information.
On April 15, the government of Kosovo introduced additional movement restrictions. All residents in Kosovo will have a daily limit of 90 minutes to leave their premises to accomplish essential tasks. If you need additional assistance or clarification, please call the toll free emergency number 112. Persons over the age of 16 can leave their homes for the supply of essential goods and to perform financial duties and other needs (payments, banking) for 90 minutes only. The schedule of movement is based on the second to last digit of their ID number. For foreign residents that do not possess a Kosovo ID, their movement schedule is based on the last digit of their foreign passport number. Please check the Ministry of Health web site for more information.
