Rumen Radev: All possible routes for evacuating Bulgarians from the Middle East are being considered
The Bulgarian diplomatic mission reiterates its advice to Bulgarian citizens in Israel to remain calm, stay vigilant and strictly follow the instructions of the Israeli authorities—particularly regarding the use of shelters.
Around 50 Bulgarian citizens have requested evacuation from Israel due to the tensions in the Middle East, said Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev. The people requesting evacuation are not part of a compact group but are located in various parts of the country. Georg Georgiev said that there is no immediate danger to the staff at the Bulgarian embassy, who chose to remain on-site, as every building in Israel is equipped with a bomb shelter. In Minister Georgiev’s words, Bulgaria remains in constant contact with its embassies in Tel Aviv and Tehran, staying updated on developments on the ground, reported Radio Plovdiv.
