The Libyan Embassy in Slovakia has called on Libyan nationals coming from Ukraine to take into account the waiting period to cross the border towards Slovakia.

The embassy asked Libyan nationals to be cautious as the crossing conditions are constantly changing. It urged them to stay away from areas of tension when traveling on land routes between cities.

In an advisory, it told them to take into account that they may face problems such as closed roads or collapsed bridges due to the ongoing military operations in Ukraine.

The embassy said it had learned from members of the Libyan community that the Ukrainian police at the border crossing is deliberately delaying the Libyans and preventing them from crossing to the other side while giving preference to their citizens and European nationalities.
