Serbian nationals travel to Ukraine for business, tourism, and family visits — Serbia has a nuanced diplomatic position between Russia and the EU, yet Serbian civilians regularly cross into Ukraine. RFZO (Serbian health insurance fund) does not cover treatment outside Serbia, making a Ukrainian-compliant policy mandatory at every border crossing.
Approximately ~5,000 travelers from Serbia visit Ukraine annually.
Serbian RFZO (Republički fond za zdravstveno osiguranje) does not cover treatment outside Serbia. Serbian nationals entering Ukraine must carry a separate Ukrainian-compliant policy — checked at every land crossing.
