Due to the worsened situation in the Republic of Albania and
intensified armed conflicts, the Croatian Foreign Ministry reached
a decision about the retirement of a part of the staff of the
Embassy in Tirana and their families, and recommended to Croatian
citizens not to travel to Albania until further notice.
The Foreign Ministry also recommended Croatian companies in
Albania to immediately take suitable measures for the protection of
personnel and equipment, including the retreat of Croatian staff to
Croatia.
