STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL ADVISORY - Croatia
============================================================
Croatia - Warning
 June 12, 1992

The Department of State strongly advises U.S. citizens not to
travel to certain areas of Croatia.  Because of continued sporadic
fighting along the borders with Serbia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.  U.S.
citizens in those areas should consider leaving as soon as safely
possible.  U.S. citizens in regions of Croatia designated as U.N.
protected areas, certain parts of Slavonia, the Dalmatian Hinterland
and the southern Adriatic coast should consider leaving as soon as
safely possible.

The situation in the capital city of Zagreb, the area north of
Zagreb and the Istrian Peninsula has stabilized.  However, the
potential for violent incidents exists.  All U.S. citizens
considering travel outside the areas listed as stable should contact
the U.S. Consulate in Zagreb for the latest information about
specific regions of Croatia.

The U.S. Consulate in Zagreb is located at Andrije Hebranga 2, tel.
444-800.  It is operating with a reduced staff, although dependents
of U.S. officials have been authorized to return.  American citizens
who stay in Croatia despite this warning should register with the
U.S. Consulate.  Attempts will be made to contact American citizens
if the situation deteriorates.

Travelers should be aware that the U.S. recently suspended
operations in the U.S. of JAT, the Yugoslav national airline.  Other
airlines continue to operate into and out of Zagreb, and rail and
other links are still open.  However, travel into and out of certain
areas of Croatia is difficult.

 No. 92-125

This travel advisory replaces the one for Yugoslavia dated February
21, 1992, to reflect U.S. recognition of Croatia, and to advise U.S.
citizens to defer travel to certain parts of Croatia.
