Albania and Croatia will close the airspace for aircraft of Russian airlines. This became known on Sunday, February 27.
According to Reuters, referring to Albanian Foreign Minister Olta Jachka, the country’s decision is connected with the recommendations of the European Union and will come into force on the night of Sunday to Monday.
The Croatian Cabinet also decided to ban Russian aircraft from flying over the country. Several meetings on Sunday were devoted to this topic.
“Russia’s unprovoked aggression violates all the foundations of the security order, and therefore we are closing airspace for Russian airlines, establishing defense cooperation with Ukraine,” the Croatian government wrote on its page in Twitter.
