Prague - A special military plane with aid to the war-afflicted Georgia will fly to Yerevan on Wednesday and on its way back it will take on Czechs who have decided to leave the Caucasus, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zuzana Opletalova told CTK today.
The Czech Republic will send to Georgia medical materiel worth about two million crowns, particularly bandages, first-aid kits and possibly also blood, but this is yet being discussed with the Health Ministry, Deputy Interior Minister Lenka Ptackova Melicharova told CTK.
Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg decided on Monday to allot five million crowns for humanitarian aid.
Czech ambassador to Georgia Ivan Jestrab said about 25 people will leave Georgia on Wednesday.
The Czech embassy has also offered vacancies to Polish citizens.
Some 50 Czechs left for home via Warsaw on the previous days, using special Polish planes.
Bloody fighting erupted in Georgia after Georgian units attempted to conquer the separatist pro-Russian South Ossetia on Friday.
The Georgians came across the Russian military that attacked them also outside the disputed region.
