PM appeals to Czechs not to travel to high-risk countries

Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka on Monday appealed to the public to take into account the international situation and respect the recommendations issued by the Czech Foreign Ministry regarding which states or areas are considered high-risk. Libya is on the list of high-risk states and the Czech Foreign Ministry has advised all Czech nationals who may still be in the country to leave as soon as possible. In view of the fact that the Czech embassy in Tripoli has been temporarily closed down Czech nationals will be unable to seek assistance there. They have been advised to turn to the Czech embassy in Cairo.
