Belgium
Authorities in Belgium have recently extended coronavirus restrictions to slow the spread of the virus. Only essential shops are open and curfews are in place across major towns and cities.
Belgium has adopted the traffic light system to determine travel restrictions, which is based on the COVID-19 threat level of the country you're travelling from.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Although Bosnia and Herzegovina is open to tourists, a recent rise in COVID-19 cases has seen tighter measures introduced.
Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and cafes are open, along with most other businesses, but a curfew is in place between 11pm and 5am. A negative PCR test is required for entry.
People must wear masks in outdoor and indoor public spaces and on public transport.
Bulgaria
A negative COVID-19 PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before travel is necessary for entry.
Bulgarian residents and those with residency permits, and their families, can choose to quarantine for 10 days upon arrival, in place of a negative PCR test.
There are no restrictions on travel between cities, and police operated checkpoints have ceased. The leisure and entertainment sector is either on lockdown or operating at reduced capacity.
International flights continue as normal for most essential travellers.
Croatia
On 30 November last year, Croatia introduced new measures temporarily restricting border crossing. However, some exemptions have been made.
Croatia is following a traffic light system for travel restrictions and anybody coming from an EU country on the 'green list' can enter the country without any restrictions.That’s providing they show no symptoms and haven’t been in close proximity to an infected person.
Cyprus is operating a category list which outlines the measures travellers must take depending on their country of origin.
Generally, the island is back open for international travellers from the A and B categories.
There is a curfew in place which restricts movement between 9pm and 5am.

Czech Republic
A state of emergency is currently in place in the Czech Republic. Everyone entering the Czech Republic is subject to a medical examination to check for COVID-19 infection. The country remains open to those travelling from low-risk areas.
