Croatian-Montenegrin border.

LONDON, Feb 20 (Hina) - In view of the uncertain situation in
Yugoslavia, Britain's Foreign Office on Friday changed again its
travel advice for Croatia, advising visitors against using the
crossing point of Debeli Brijeg, on the Croatian-Montenegrin
border.
"In view of the increasingly volatile situation in the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), we advise against
using the newly opened Debeli Brijeg crossing point for even brief
excursions into Montenegro", the instruction said.
The Foreign Office changed its last instruction on travels to
Croatia only four weeks ago, in regard to the announcement of
Croatian and Montenegrin authorities on the opening of the Debeli
Brijeg border crossing.
Unlike earlier instructions, a section of the text warning visitors
about the presence of unexploded mines and ordnance in areas
affected by war does not mention the term "Krajina". It also leaves
out the part advising caution in "eastern Slavonia", for which it
had been claimed that there was a possibility of continued
tensions.
Visitors are also advised to be cautious when carrying money as well
as to seek medical advice about immunisation against tick-borne
encephalitis.
Great Britain also called on its citizens not to travel to and leave
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. A similar instruction was given
for travels to Bosnia-Herzegovina, with advice for travellers to
postpone all unnecessary travels to the Bosnian Serb entity of
Republika Srpska and prepare for leaving the entity on short
notice.
