Over 2,000 Bulgarians have been transported back to Bulgaria from other countries since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis. The exact number of those brought back home with the assistance of the foreign ministry is difficult to specify because of the different modes of transportation, Ivan Dimov, adviser to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva, told the Bulgarian National Radio.
The recommendation to abstain from travelling remains in place unless absolutely necessary. In order to use a humanitarian flight, it is necessary for Bulgarian citizens to contact the relevant Bulgarian diplomatic mission around the world. It is also important that there is a sufficient number of Bulgarian nationals willing to return home from the respective destination, Dimov added.
