Bulgaria has stated that it is ready to make the airspace available to Russian president Vladimir Putin so that he can go to the planned summit with US president Donald Trump in Hungary.
Trump and Putin agreed during a telephone conversation last week that they would meet in Budapest on an indefinite deadline to discuss advancement in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, reported the Kremlin.In an interview with the broadcaster BNR on Monday Bulgarian Minister for abroad Affairs Georgiev said his country would not make any obstacles.

"When efforts are made to accomplish peace, and the condition is to hold a meeting, the most logical is to organise specified a gathering by all possible means" – he said.“How could a gathering happen if 1 of the parties could not participate?”– added Georgiev.Bulgaria does not border Hungary, but both countries border Serbia, which maintains friendly relations with Russia and refuses to impose sanctions on Moscow.Hungary is 1 of the fewer EU members who do not support Moscow's diplomatic boycott through this block.

In June, Budapest announced its withdrawal from the global Criminal Court (ICC), which issued a warrant for Putin's arrest on charges of war crimes in 2023.Russia, which is not organization to the ICC, rejected the warrant as “legally invalid’.
