Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Diplomats Do Their Best to Help Their Citizens

MINSK, July 27 – Sputnik. Belarusian diplomats do their utmost to help their citizens, often going beyond official functions, Foreign Ministry spokesman Anatoly Glaz said, commenting on the situation of Belarusian tourists due to the cancellation of several Ryanair carrier flights. He added that diplomats do not always have the appropriate opportunities.

The strike of employees of the airline RyanAir led to the cancellation of flights in four countries – Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain. In a difficult situation were the Belarusians, who used the services of the airline. The Honorary Consulate of Byelorussia in Spain has hosted several citizens of Byelorussia. The airline said that since the strike situation is force majeure, money for the tickets will not be returned, but the loukoster will try to do everything possible to make sure that pbadengers fly away in the planned direction. In the difficult situation abroad, the first step of the Belarussian is to address the diplomatic mission in the country of the incident or, in the absence of his absence, to the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation since it is responsible for consular badistance to citizens. and

Simultaneously, relatives or friends of the Republic of Belarus must address the main consular department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and already "in manual mode" by joint efforts to resolve the current situation. However, as stated in the Department of Foreign Affairs, we are talking more emergency situations than the cancellation of flights. But in this case, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will try to help.
