🇷🇺 Fico plans to attend the parade in Moscow on May 9 dedicated to Victory Day and is the only EU leader intending to be present at the event.
🌐 In total, about 20 foreign high-ranking officials will be at the parade in Moscow, including Chinese President Xi Jinping.
🇱🇹 On May 7, Lithuania announced the closure of its airspace to the flights that Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić planned to take to Moscow. Aircraft flying from Europe to russia often use Lithuanian airspace.
🇪🇪 Estonia also banned flights over its territory, complicating Fico’s plans. The Slovak Prime Minister stated that this “complicates his schedule” and that he will now be unable to arrive on time for the planned events in Moscow on May 8.
💼 At the same time, in addition to participating in the parade, Fico plans to hold bilateral meetings and attend a flower-laying ceremony in russia.
