Around 2600 people have been evacuated from over 11 countries where there are military actions, said Deputy Foreign Minister Velizar Shalamanov. Bulgarian citizens are a priority, commented Shalamanov.
According to him, clear instructions are being followed in coordination with the Crisis Staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, prioritizing humanitarian cases. There is only one state flight to Abu Dhabi.
Shalamanov also commented on the threats and measures. The security of facilities related to Israel and the United States has been reinforced. Information-psychological attacks are the most worrying. Cyber threats are also a serious risk, but measures are being taken. Overloading of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for the registration of evacuees is being observed.
