Russia’s Lavrov cancels Serbia trip after countries close airspace

MOSCOW, 07 June 2022, (TON): Officials said “Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was forced to cancel a visit to Serbia after several of its neighbors prevented his plane from passing through their airspace.”

Lavrov had been due to hold talks with top officials in Belgrade, one of Moscow’s few remaining allies in Europe since the launch of its military offensive in Ukraine earlier this year.

The countries around Serbia have closed the channel of communication by refusing to authorize the overflight of the plane of Sergei Lavrov who was headed to Serbia.

“The Russian delegation should have arrived in Belgrade for talks. But the EU and NATO member countries closed their airspace.”
