Bulgarian Foreign Ministry Warns Bulgarians Travelling to Ukraine

Sofia, August 17 (BTA) - The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry Wednesday recommended to Bulgarians travelling to Ukraine to avoid areas in the large cities where protests and rallies are taking place and to use caution and vigilance for theft of unwatched objects, money and documents from their cars.

The warning is prompted by the increased public tensions and the exacerbated crime situation in Ukraine.

Bulgarians are advised to register on the Ministry's Travel Assistant webpage or with the Bulgarian Embassy in Kiev and the Consulate General in Odessa, specifying the period and place of their stay, and to leave a telephone for regular updates on the situation.
