Iaktta normal försiktighet - Nordmakedonien är ett tryggt land att resa i, men var försiktig eftersom det förekommer spänningar mellan olika grupper, i synnerhet i Skopje och i landets norra delar. Undvik stora folksamlingar. Alla som reser i området bör vara försiktiga. I det nordliga gränsområdet finns en liten risk för oröjda minor.
