    Evacuated Croatian: We Are OK, We Are at Border

    We are at the border now and I think we will be here for a while until
    the papers are sorted out, one of the four evacuated Croatians said.

    - We are just at the Armenian border. I suppose we will be here for
    some time because of the paperwork, which takes time. But we are all
    alright and we are not scared ` said Lukrecija Kireta, one of the four
    Croatians who were on s study trip to Georgia when the war with Russia
    began.

    Via embassies, the evacuation of European Commission interns began in
    Georgia at 4 pm local time. The interns were on a study trip through
    Georgia. The group included for Croatians ` Lukrecija Kireta, Drago
    Mezga, Oliver Anderlin and Stjepan Bukovcak.

    Evacuation with help of Italy and European Commission

    Lukrecija said she was in Georgia for a while together with other
    interns. It was the European Commission that was the first to start
    with the evacuations.

    - Currently we are being evacuated by the Italian Embassy and the
    European Commission. We were in contact with them the entire time. Of
    course, with the help of the Croatian Foreign Ministry that sorted out
    our visas for Armenia, since, as citizens of Croatia, we need visas to
    enter the country ` Kireta said.

    In a brief telephone conversation, she said she expected to be in
    Brussels, where she has lived for the past five months, as early as
    tomorrow.

    - Drago Mezga, Oliver Anderlin and Stjepan Bukovcak will travel to
    Italy ` she said.
