The MFAEI has kept daily and direct contact with the families of the kidnapped, informing them about the development of the events and the condition of the men, to the extent to which the kidnappers were ready to communicate. In agreement with the Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Croatian MFAEI has fully assumed the concern over the Montenegrin citizen.
Directly from Zagreb and intensely through the Croatian Embassy in London, the MFAEI has kept regular communication with the Nigerian authorities and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the successful release operation.
The MFAEI would also like to thank for the help offered by the US and Austrian diplomacies. An important role in keeping the regular communication was also played by Hydrodive, which the kidnapped men were employees of.
