In the paper, the Braginskii equations for relativistic electrons in hot plasmas with slow macroscopic fluxes are derived. This consideration is suitable for description of the typical fusion plasma with the temperatures of about several tens of kiloelectronvolt, when the plasma rotation and the longitudinal currents should be taken into account. Contrary to other papers devoted to classical description of transport processes in fusion devices, as well as to fully relativistic description of the astrophysical objects, we propose the mixed approach with fully relativistic kinetics for the hot electrons and non-relativistic macroscopic fluxes. The obtained form of the Braginskii equations includes all important features of relativistic hydrodynamics, has the same form as the classical representation, which is currently implemented into modern transport codes, and can easily replace the latter.
