Poland banned a Slovak jet carrying a parliamentary delegation to Russia from passing through its airspace, Slovak politicians told the public broadcaster TASR on Jan. 12. The incident happened in recent days. Warsaw has contested their claim. Because of Warsaw’s decision to block its airspace, the delegation had to fly over the Czech Republic and Germany, TASR wrote.
The delegation led by Andrej Danko and Tibor Gaspar, deputy speakers of the Slovak National Council, were set to meet Russian lawmakers and government officials to discuss trade and gas supplies.
