Foreign Ministry: 3,723 Slovak citizens repatriated so far

Thanks in part to the assistance provided by the Foreign and European Affairs Ministry, 3,723 Slovak citizens have returned to Slovakia by Monday, the ministry's press department told TASR, adding that almost all the 91 Slovak embassies abroad were involved in the repatriation process. "We're using all available means -- buses, commercial flights, and in cooperation with the Interior Ministry we've also involved the national fleet [of aircraft], and the Defence Ministry has offered its transport capacities as well," said Foreign Affairs Ministry State Secretary Martin Klus. The ministry is also making efforts to cooperate with partner countries within the European Union.
