Croatia has advised its citizens staying in east Ukrine to leave that area, Foreign and European Affairs Minister Gordan Grlić Radman said in Munich on Sunday.
The recommendation has been adopted during an intensive communication with Croatia's Ambassador in Kyev and following the experience of other countries, said the minister. A week ago, Grlić Radman said that there were 25 Croatians in the east of that country.Most of them are believed to have departed from the area in the meantime.
The Croatian minister said in Munich today that the situation in Ukraine was worrisome, however this did not mean that it would escalate.
Diplomatic efforts are being made to prevent escalation, said Grlić Radman in the Bavarian capital city where he attended the international security conference.
