Russian Foreign Minister Serghey Lavrov arrived in Skopje, North Macedonia, where a meeting of the OSCE Council of Foreign Ministers will take place today and tomorrow. This was reported by Interfax, according to which the plane with Lavrov on board flew over Greece and not Bulgaria, as was originally planned. Sofia allowed the use of its airspace as long as Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, subject to European Union sanctions, was not on board the aircraft.
Bulgaria’s decision not to allow the flight carrying Russian Foreign Minister Serghey Lavrov, bound for Skopje for the OSCE meeting, to pass through its airspace is “absurd and stupid”. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said this. Tass reports this. “The malignant stupidity of Russophobes reached such a point that for the first time in our history, the authorities banned the overflight not of an airplane, but of a person on the airplane,” the person concerned, Zakharova, later wrote on her channel Telegram.
