A Russian
delegation that is to travel to North Macedonia to attend the OSCE ministerial
summit, and which should comprise Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, will
be allowed to land in the North Macedonian capital of Skopje, as the Government
has decided to lift the overflight ban on Russian planes just for this one
flight.
The North Macedonian ministries of defense and foreign affairs will issue permission for the overflight and landing of the plane carrying the Russian delegation, and this information has been confirmed by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of North Macedonia, reported Radio Free Europe.
There has
been no confirmation that Lavrov will head the delegation at the summit on
November 30 and December 1. Diplomatic sources from OSCE said the Russian
delegation will include about 80 people, including Russian Foreign Affairs
Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova and over 20 Russian journalists.
