Bulgaria will allow a plane carrying Vladimir Putin to fly through its airspace to facilitate a planned meeting between the Russian leader and U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest, said Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev, as quoted by Euractiv.
"When efforts are being made to achieve peace, and if the condition for this is to have such a meeting, it is most logical that such a meeting should be mediated in (all) possible ways", Georg Georgiev told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg. “How is it proposed to hold the meeting if one of the participants cannot get to it?”, asked Minister Georgiev.
Hungary and Bulgaria border Serbia, which has strong historic links with Moscow. Passing through Bulgaria on its way to Budapest would significantly shorten Putin’s flight time, BTA reports.
