Albania warns citizens to avoid travel to Middle East

Albanian authorities advise citizens to avoid any travel to the countries of the region until a second announcement.

Meanwhile, citizens currently there must show maximum vigilance and consider moving through airlines as long as they continue to be functional.

The ministry calls on citizens to attend only reliable official and media sources, to respect local authorities' guidelines, to keep travel documents and means of willing communication, as well as to contact Albanian diplomatic and consular representatives in the event of need.

It also warns that, in the event of further deterioration of the situation, the closure of airspace into a wider perimeter remains real opportunities, while flights could be cancelled without warning. /Periscopi
