About 130 Bulgarian citizens do not want to be evacuated from Libya, according to the Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov.
"In the last days we called about 130 Bulgarians in Libya, but only few of them wanted to leave the country," the minister said Wednesday.
He once again urged the people who are still in the Arab country to return because of the critical situation due to the ongoing protests against leader Muammar Gaddafi.
"We urge people to contact the Bulgarian Embassy and to leave the country as fast as possible. There are still options for evacuation through countries that are our allies," Mladenov said.
Last week, 111 Bulgarians returned from Libya with Bulgarian planes and 24 others were evacuated with Romanian and Ukrainian planes. Another 22 Bulgarian citizens fled the country on board of the Turkish Iskenderum ship, which arrived on the port of Marmaris on Monday.
Late on Monday, Bulgaria's government Airbus 310 evacuated 41 more Bulgarian citizens from Libya on Monday, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry has announced.
A total of 100 000 foreigners have left Libya so far, according to Bulgaria's EU Commissioner on Humanitarian Aid, Kristalina Georgieva.
