The ministry has been in contact with the Croatian Embassy in Ankara and Cairo, which also covers Iraq, as well as with the Polish consular office in Baghdad, and it has been agreed that Croatian citizens can contact that office in case of any problems.
Nobody has contacted any of the three diplomatic offices to report an abduction or a killing in Iraq, Silobrcic said.
The Croatian press today reported that Croatian haulier Dalibor Burazovic from Nova Gradiska went missing near Mosul on Saturday.
Silobrcic said that the Eurodelta d.o.o. company from Velika Gorica had contacted the ministry, however, not to report the disappearance of any of its hauliers, but to seek information.
The spokesman said that company owners and hauliers had not agreed on ways of communication, so it was almost impossible to trace their movement in the unsafe Iraqi territory. Croatian citizens looking for work in Iraq usually do not report to Croatian diplomatic offices, he added.
The Vecernji List daily has reported that communication with mobile phones in Iraq is very poor because the signal is available only in a 50-kilometre stretch along the Turkish-Iraqi border.
