The embassy staff has been reinforced with a number of colleagues from Bucharest. We are in permanent coordination with the colleagues from the missions from the other European states, so it's a team effort. We are in contact with the Romanian citizens there."According to the Foreign Ministry, up until now approximately 950 Romanian citizens and their family members have registered their presence in Lebanon, at the Romanian Embassy in Beirut. No evacuation requests were received so far.
