Georgian Foreign Ministry sets up additional consulate service in Lviv

An additional consular service will be set up in the Ukrainian city Lviv to assist Georgian citizens amid the intensified movement and concentration of citizens caused by the ongoing conflict in the country, the Georgian Foreign Ministry announced earlier today. 

According to a statement from the Ministry, in case of absence of a passport, the consular service will issue citizens with a "return certificate" so that they are able to return to their homeland.

The Ministry has asked those with questions or wishing to obtain a return document to contact the Lviv Consulate through hotlines operating round-the-clock.
