Cypriots Planning Trips to Jerusalem and Dubai – No Repatriation, Says Kömpos

Foreign Minister Konstantinos Kömpos urged citizens to take travel advisories seriously, especially for high-risk areas such as Jerusalem and Dubai. He emphasized that the effort to repatriate Cypriots from these areas has been completed and will not be repeated, therefore the individual responsibility of travelers is paramount. There is an increase in travel to these areas despite the warnings. The Minister also referred to the escalation of the regional crisis and the need for diplomatic engagement by the European Union, emphasizing the need for internal coordination and EU presence in the region.
