Hi Aleksandar - I can raise this topic with the Conference Organizers - (or feel free to reach out yourself again - I'd suggest the slack channel for the conference).
To be clear, the ASF does not get involved in any visa or travel issues. Those are the responsibility of the participant. I do not know how to advise anyone beyond that, except to say, listen to the authorities in your country of origin about whether or not it is advisable to travel to any location. We will add content to a wiki page to help people learn more - and I'll update that and this listserv if I learn anything.
