At the same time, the Foreign Affairs Ministry reiterates the firm recommendation addressed to the Romanian citizens in conflict areas or in areas with major security risk to contact the nearest diplomatic mission of Romania in order to register their presence in the region, so that they can benefit from as efficient as possible consular assistance and protection.
