Low-Level Kosovo Attacks
U.S. Office Pristina issued the following Warden Message on February 2:

The next several weeks will see a number of important political events in Kosovo, including the possibility of demonstrations and other public manifestations. Local media announced planned demonstrations for February 10 in Pristina, Mitrovica and Ferizaj.

U.S. Office Pristina (USOP) reminds American citizens to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness. We wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid roadblocks and areas of demonstrations or where large crowds are gathered, if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations.

In the event further information is obtained regarding this or any other security or safety situation in Kosovo, USOP will provide updates via this same channel and on the Mission's web page: http://pristina.usmission.gov. American citizens may contact USOP during working hours by calling (038)-549-516. USOP's duty officer may be reached after hours via this same number or at 044-153-594.

For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where all current Worldwide Cautions, Public Announcements, and Travel Warnings can be found. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S., or, for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
