Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani followed developments relating to the shooting in Kraków’s Market Square this afternoon. “I can confirm that 34 students and three accompanying staff members from a high school in Albano Laziale were also in the Market Square area today. The Ambassador asked the Honorary Consul and the Director of the Italian Cultural Institute to go to the scene. The two officials helped the group reunite and then take shelter in a safe place. They missed their flight, which was scheduled for this evening, but will return to Italy tomorrow. Our Embassy, the Director and the Honorary Consul will continue to assist them. I thank them and all the Foreign Ministry officials who, in Rome today as always, worked to protect Italian citizens around the world.”
Tajani confirmed: “Italian school group brought to safety in Kraków today”
