Russia fumes at Europe after airspace closure forces FM to cancel Serbia visit

Lavrov's Serbia visit cancelled - Moscow furiously condemned the closure of airspace by European nations. Nations surrounding Serbia – Bulgaria, North Macedonia & Montenegro - shut their airspace to an official plane. Hitting out, Russian FM flagged 'deprivation of a sovereign state of the right to carry out foreign policy'. The Kremlin stated 'nothing would prevent Moscow from maintaining contacts with friendly countries'.
