Section 8 - Security Issues and travel in Kosovo and Metohija The security situation in Kosovo and Metohija is not always stable and some areas are not as safe as others. It is important to follow safety protocols in regard to security and travel in Kosovo and Metohija. Anyone going to Kosovo and Metohija must take the following precautions; - Check what the security situation is like in both Kosovo and Metohija as well as within the municipality that you are going to. This includes calling the legal aid offices in Kosovska Mitrovica or Gracanica beforehand to inform them that you are coming. This way they can keep you in mind if there are any security concerns that arise. - Send a movement plan ahead of you to legal aid in Kosovo and Metohija, to ensure that they know where you’re going and how to contact you. - Take a SIM card that works in Kosovo and Metohija. Every legal aid office has a SIM card assigned to it that works in all of Kosovo and Metohija. The cards should be programmed with emergency contact numbers in Kosovo and Metohija. - Use main roads when traveling in Kosovo and Metohija, do not use small roads unless absolutely necessary. - Keep a map of Kosovo and Metohija in the vehicle at all times, that way alternate routes can be used in case of emergencies. - Ensure that you have enough fuel to last you for your entire journey prior to departure. If possible, take a vehicle that has been fully fuelled. - Always let someone know where you’re going. A list of emergency contact numbers is provided at the end of this handbook.

The Court Liaison Office in Kosovo and Metohija provided the chart below to reflect their assessment of freedom
of movement for vulnerable ethnic groups in Kosovo and Metohija to access courts and other bodies in Kosovo and Metohija. Level 1 – Internationally Escorted access Level 2 – CLO Assisted access Level 3 – Unassisted local access Level 4 – Free access Section 9 - A Rights Based Approach to Property for IDPs The United Nations Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons, hereinafter referred to as the Pinheiro Principles, which were drafted by Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, give a thorough explanation on the restitution of property to refugees and displaced persons. Most of the international conventions from which the Principles are derived are directly related to the property problems related to IDPs from Kosovo and Metohija.
