"As far as I know, there are no plans to hold a telephone conversation in the near future. At the same time, of course, the Russian side continues to remain open to dialogue on the most crucial issues," Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to a question on whether Putin is going to discuss anti-terrorism efforts or the recent closure of Bulgarian airspace to Russian aircraft with Obama.
Bulgaria`s Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that it had banned Russian military transport planes carrying supplies to Syria from entering the country`s airspace until September 24, citing concerns over "the purpose of the flights and the cargo."
The news came after a diplomatic source in Athens told RIA Novosti last week that the US Embassy had appealed to the Greek government to prohibit Russian flights from using its airspace, however, Athens refused to do so.
