The Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin and another passenger – a deputy in the Russian Duma - feature the EU black list with overfly interdiction.
When specifically asked by Bucharest if Rogozin was onboard the aircraft which asked permission to enter the Romanian airspace, the Russian commander lied and said : "No".
Trough the diversion Rogozin created, Moscow planned two important operations:
1. Checking and measuring Romania’s reaction as an EU country, related to the enforcement of sanctions adopted in Brussels. Romania responded correctly from an institutional point of view, even if it was forced to accept Rogozin's aircraft into the Romanian airspace for about 30 minutes.
2. The clandestine takeover of the files from Tiraspol with the signatures related to the so called independence of Transistrai and its annexation to Russia. Making use of his governmental capacity, Rogozin snatched the files and transported them in his motorcade. Some of the files were captured by the secret services in Chisinau right from Rogozin's special plane.
The Russian Deputy Prime |Minister left to Moscow with an airliner.
