The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs confirms that the Croatian seaman kidnapped in Nigerian territorial waters aboard the cargo ship Glarus has been freed. Together with his 11 co-workers, he landed this morning at Zurich international airport.
The crew of the Swiss-owned Glarus were kidnapped over a month ago by Nigerian pirates.
The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs has intensively cooperated through Croatia’s embassy in Bern with the Swiss authorities in resolving the matter.
