Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s scheduled trip to Serbia this week has been cancelled due to a flight ban imposed by three of Belgrade’s neighbouring nations in the wake of Moscow’s continued invasion of Kiev, the media reported on Monday.
The trip was to take place on Monday and Tuesday.
The flight ban has been imposed by Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Montenegro, the BBC reported.
In a statement to the media late Sunday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that the three countries have closed their airspace to Lavrov’s aircraft, reports TASS News Agency.
