Belgrade’s air quality is poor during winter months because of the pollution from burning low-grade coal, automobile exhaust, and cold air inversions.
No specific immunizations are needed, although Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are recommended for those living in Serbia. Many medications may not be available in Belgrade, so travelers are advised to bring required medications with them. Local pharmacies may be able to order medications from other parts of Europe, but this could be expensive, time-consuming, and often advance payment is required.
One of the best facilities in the case of an adult medical emergency is the Military Medical Academy (VMA), Crnotravska 17, Centar Hitne Pomoći entrance. Tel: +381 11 2661-122 or +381 11 360 93 98. Payment is expected at the time of the service.
Fruits and vegetables usually are of excellent quality. Precautions related to the washing of fresh fruits and vegetables are similar to those that should be practiced in the United States.
