The agreement reached by the Egyptian authorities included that the Slovak authorities would allow entry to Egyptians coming from Ukraine without a visa.
The Egyptian embassy in Kiev called on the Egyptians remaining so far in Ukraine to quickly send copies of their passports to the emergency number of the Egyptian embassy in the Slovak capital Bratislava, in order to facilitate their entry from the borders.
Thus, Slovakia joined Romania, Poland and Moldova as destinations, and the Egyptian authorities announced the possibility of Egyptians stranded in Ukraine heading to them.
A source at the Egyptian embassy in Kiev told Sky News Arabia that coordination is underway with all Egyptian embassies in the countries surrounding Ukraine in order to open new destinations for Egyptians, with the aim of reducing their walking distances in Ukrainian lands and reducing the risks facing them.
In the same context, the Egyptian embassy in Kiev warned against violating the curfew imposed by the Ukrainian authorities from five in the evening until eight in the morning in the capital, saying that the authorities would treat violators of the curfew as enemies.
Groups of Egyptians had arrived at dawn at shelters on the Romanian border, and the Egyptian authorities had asked them to quickly head to Bucharest to finish the procedures for their return to Cairo.
