Georgiev, during a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg, answering a question from Bulgarian National Radio journalist Angelina Piskova, stated that his country could grant permission for Putin's plane to fly en route to Budapest for talks with Trump.
When efforts are made to achieve peace, if the condition for this is to hold a meeting, then it is most logical that such a meeting be mediated in all possible ways.
To a clarifying question whether this means that Sofia is ready to open its airspace for the Russian plane, the minister answered briefly but tellingly: "How is it proposed to hold a meeting if one of the participants cannot arrive at it?"
