Belgium starts repatriating stranded compatriots from the Middle East (and that is not free)

Our country is organizing repatriation flights to bring around 2,500 stranded tourists from the Middle East. Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Prévot (Les Engagés) and Defense Minister Theo Francken (N-VA) are joining forces for this purpose. Repatriation is not free: Belgians who fly along must be responsible for the costs themselves.
