Flight ban hits Russian minister's visit to Serbia
A visit to Serbia by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on 6-7 June has been cancelled because three of Serbia's neighbours refuse to let his plane use their airspace.
EU member Bulgaria imposed the flight ban, along with North Macedonia and Montenegro - countries hoping, like Serbia, to join the EU.
Russia's foreign ministry confirmed the cancellation. Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered an EU airspace ban.
Serbia remains friendly with Russia.
