On 16 August 2021, eight Croatian citizens have been repatriated from Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs is maintaining constant contact with the Croatian citizens in the field and, in cooperation with partner countries, is monitoring and coordinating the departure of the remaining Croatian citizens, which is expected later today and in the following days.
Through EEAS, the Ministry is exchanging information with other EU member states to ensure a coordinated approach in offering consular assistance to Croatian and other EU citizens.
Croatia’s diplomatic and consular offices, together with the Ministry’s Consular Affairs Directorate-General, are offering all the necessary information and assistance in repatriating the Croatian citizens from Afghanistan. The Ministry is working intensely to bring home the remaining Croatian citizens.
We would like to thank the Ukrainian authorities, who have facilitated the return of one Croatian citizen, as well as the EU and international partners who are assisting in the repatriation of the rest of Croatian citizens from Afghanistan.
