The embassy now registers 55 Czech citizens in Georgia, diplomats, businessmen and tourists.
Seven of them, but no diplomat, today decided to leave the country and others are pondering departure. No Czech in Georgia has been affected by the armed conflict, Jestrab said. He said the embassy does not have information about the five Czech soldiers who have been deployed in the Kodori gorge in Abkhazia within a U.N. peace contingent. In Kodori, Abkhazian units have attacked Georgian troops today. In the capital Tbilisi the situation is safe and calm, but the embassy still recommends that Czechs not go to Georgia now, Jestrab said. Czech diplomats Peace bid as Ossetia crisis rages ...

"We want to help those who want to leave Georgia to do so in safety," said Jestrab. As Georgian "air space is full of military planes" it is impossible to leave Georgia by plane. Those staying along the western coast may leave via Turkey, those in the east can be recommended to cross the border to Armenia, Jestrab said.
