I just discovered that I will be taking a short side trip through Kosovo; but not entering Kosovo through Serbia. I have no idea if Kosovo will stamp my passport as I will be entering on rural road. My questions is, does anyone know for sure, or have a resource I can read, that discusses any issues of later entering Serbia and they seeing the Kosovo stamp on my passport? I ask because I believe that since Serbia still claims Kosovo they at one time considered entering Kosovo without going through a Serbian checkpoint a violation.

When made the post I had forgotten that the two just signed an agreement. https://thehill.com/opinion/international/515125-serbia-kosovo-agreement-results-from-trumps-different-brand-of
Has no affect on this trip, but I like Belgrade and suspect I will be there in then next year or so.
Oh, and you got me intrested about the passport stamp. I remember in the days before the EU when everyone had their own stamp it was fun to collect them. Unfortunately the Kosovo stamp is pretty much the same as an EU stamp https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-szFb0JwMnzI/Ti-QSHTaYjI/AAAAAAAAFuA/5uv_bYc8WJ4/s1600/Kosovo%2BPassport%2BStamp%2B2.jpg

I was just hoping for something unique. I miss those. I had square ones, round ones, oval ones. Now they are all the same shape with the same little arrow, car or plane at the bottom. No fun. I have this incredible visa Egypt in one old passport. It was a work of art.

When you go to Beograd, consider staying at Hotel Moskva. We stayed there in 2019 - $139/night. Great breakfast, nice spa, centrally located. Perhaps you can get the room Maxim Gorky stayed in (122?)
