"Just today, an hour ago, the countries surrounding Serbia closed the communication channel, not allowing the overflight of Sergei Lavrov's plane, which was preparing for Serbia," Zakharova told Italian TV La7, Tanjug reported late last night.

She said that the Russian delegation was supposed to arrive in Belgrade for talks.

"EU and NATO member states have closed the airspace, closed another channel of communication," RIA quoted Zakharova as saying.

She added that Russia, unlike the European Union, will not put up an iron curtain. "Your mistake is that you are too selfish, you think you are at the center of the world, that there are no other nations besides you," Zakharova told TV La7.
