Another country has refused to participate in the OSCE Ministerial Council meeting in North Macedonia because Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be present there.

Thus, the Polish Foreign Minister Szymon Szinkowski wiel Cenk announced his refusal.

"We are critical of the invitation to this meeting of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov," he explained and added that none of his deputies will attend the meeting.

However, the delegation from Poland will still participate in the forum, the Minister specified.

Earlier it was reported that the plane of Foreign Minister Lavrov arrived in Northern Macedonia through Greece. The ship had to change course, because the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova was on board, and Bulgaria forbade her to fly over the country. Zakharova called it "dangerous stupidity."
