State Department: Albania - Travel Warning, August 14, 1998
Albania - Travel Warning
August 14, 1998
The Department of State warns against all travel to Albania. Because of
recent declarations by Islamic extremists against the United States and its
citizens, and because of the possibility that the U.S. Embassy's facilities
in Tirana, Albania could be among the targets of a terrorist attack, the
Department of State has ordered the departure of Embassy personnel in
non-emergency positions and families of Embassy employees. American
citizens currently in Albania are urged to consider carefully their
personal security situation and, if appropriate, to depart Albania. The
U.S. Embassy will be able to provide only emergency citizen services. The
airports are open and commercial flights are available.
For further information on travel to Albania consult the Department's
latest Consular Information Sheet on
Albania and its Public Announcement of
August 13, 1998.
No. 98-037
This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning issued June 18,
1998.
