Serbian tourists who were staying at the Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada resorts returned to Belgrade late on Monday on a Genex flight. Many countries have been evacuating their citizens from Egypt.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and national airline Jat Airways will send a plane to Cairo to evacuate the Serbian citizens who want to leave Egypt.
The flight will transport Serbian citizens who live and work in Egypt and their family members, as well as the families of the staff at the Serbian Embassy in Cairo.
So far, 120 people have contacted the Embassy asking for transport back to Serbia, says the release issued by the Foreign Ministry.
The release appeals to all Serbian citizens currently located in Egypt to contact the Embassy so that transport can be arranged.
Protests against President Hosni Mubarak have raged in Cairo and other cities in Egypt for the past week, and more than 110 people have been killed.
