FM Macinka gives recommendation to Czechs amid Middle East tensions
Czechia is not planning to send a repatriation flight to the Middle East at this stage, Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) said on Česká televize. He stressed that Czech citizens who need help should contact the Foreign Ministry’s crisis line at +420 222 420 222. Thousands of Czechs are currently in the region, most of them in Dubai, where 2,500 have registered in the Drozd system. Three Czech nationals remain in Iran. Macinka warned against travel to the region and advised citizens to stay in touch with airlines as several countries have closed their airspace.
