[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Belarus is the closest and is in many ways a relic,  but it is not safe to go there. Maybe Serbia. [/quote]

Why is it not safe? I mean sure don’t bring weed or loiter near classified factories or befriend KGB officers and ask them for your loans back. And these are Russia cases I am referring to as I don’t know any from Belarus.  But otherwise nothing will happen to you in either country [/quote]

Nonsense. You don’t have to be a spy for them to call you one. You could become a chip in their game.[/quote]

Don’t get me wrong, I am not persuading you to travel there :) I am simply saying that I don’t know a single case of a foreigner arrested for just being a foreigner. Heck, even in N Korea you have to actually steal a poster to be detained.

US embassy there closed last year because of the Russian war in Ukraine,    says don’t go due to other risks. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/belarus-travel-advisory.html
