I know it's not going to be a problem in Croatia, but I was a bit concerned about Kosovo.
According to wikitravel, "Kosovo is quite safe (so long as you spend more time listening to people then spouting your political opinions) but it is also an area that is ripe for conflict. Conflict is quite often foreseeable long in advance, so if you're planning to go, check the news several weeks in advance to make sure that no major 'incidents' have occurred that could lead to rioting or other civil conflict."
This might be cause for concern... but also an indication interesting events are bound to take place:
The UN Special Envoy for the Kosovo Future Status Process, former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari, has now, after 14 months of intensive negotiations with Belgrade and Pristina, presented his settlement proposal to the Security Council. Ahtisaari's bold proposal, which recommends Kosovo's independence with initial supervision by a strong international civilian and military presence, is the only viable option for the international community, and for Europe in particular.
