Press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the attack on Israel

We stand by the citizens of Israel at this difficult hour. We deeply sympathize with the families of the victims and condemn all forms of terrorism and violence in the strongest terms. Giving up violence is the only way forward.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is closely following the events in Israel and is in contact with the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Tel Aviv, as well as our Honorary Consul Aleksandar Nikolic, so that our citizens can be provided with consular and any other type of assistance.

According to the official information available so far, there are no citizens of the Republic of Serbia among the victims of today's attacks. Serbian representatives in Israel are in constant contact with the competent Israeli authorities, regularly reporting to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are also in contact with groups of Serbian citizens who are staying in that country as tourists, as well as with our citizens living in Israel, to whom they endeavour to provide all the necessary information and support.

In this regard, all citizens of the Republic of Serbia who are in the territory of Israel, resident or visiting, are advised to follow the instructions of the competent rear protection authorities, which include staying in a proper public or home shelter during a rocket attack, i.e., staying at home or in hotel accommodation until public safety is ensured.

Detailed information and instructions are available at Israel's National Emergency Portal.
