The weather can be changeable – Prishtina in particular is known for the change of seasons during the same day.
Dress code in Pristina is casual generally, as is in other towns of Kosovo.
Streets can get muddy and/or dusty depending on the weather; pavements can be uneven. Good strong shoes are advisable especially for winter months as roads and pavements can be slippery/icy as they are often not cleared. Occasional heavy rain so an umbrella is useful (in particular in spring and autumn).
