Two Serbian nationals evacuated from Kabul, one remains

Ministry sources said that Marko Pribak and Aleksandar Cvejic confirmed that they had been evacuated on a flight organized by Germany. “We are continuing efforts to evacuate the remaining Serbian national from Afghanistan,” the sources said.

The two men told N1 on Monday that they had been trying to leave the country for days and that every commercial flight that they booked had been cancelled. They were housed in a hotel at Kabul airport along with a number of other foreigners before they were evacuated.

The remaining Serbian national, Milka Damjanovic told N1 that she can’t get anywhere near the airport but that she is not in danger for her life and that she and her colleagues are as safe as they can be in Kabul even though they have no security guards. Damnjanovic said that she is planning to leave the country but has to go with the Italian humanitarian mission that she works for. According to her, the mission chiefs feel that the risk of leaving their quarters is too great but they are continuing to provide medical services.

Damnjanovic said that she has been in contact with the Serbian embassies in Rome and New Delhi.
