In a statement published early Saturday on its website, Serbia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said:
“Due to the deterioration of the security situation, citizens of the Republic of Serbia are advised not to travel to Iran in the coming period. All those currently in Iran are also advised to leave the country as soon as possible.”
Serbia had previously urged its nationals to leave Iran in mid-January as well.
Separately, Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard wrote on the social media platform X that “we strongly urge Swedish citizens who are in Iran to leave the country.”
A day earlier, the Foreign Ministry of Germany again called on all German citizens to leave Iran due to the risk of a possible U.S. attack. According to reports, the number of registered German citizens in Iran is only a few hundred.
Iran announced on Friday that it hopes to quickly reach an agreement with the United States over Tehran’s nuclear program, which has long been a source of tension between the two countries.
However, U.S. President Donald Trump — after ordering a significant increase in the U.S. naval presence in the Middle East to pressure Tehran — said that if negotiations fail, a limited military strike is “under consideration.”
