Details: According to the statement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country, the athlete, who twice played in the finals of the most prestigious Grand Slam tournaments, tried to enter Poland using a visa issued by France when she flew from Belgrade to Warsaw.

It is noted that after arriving from Serbia, the tennis player stayed in the transit zone of Warsaw Chopin Airport and flew to Montenegro after 12:00 local time on 22 July.

The agency emphasised that the Russian woman, who is on the list of persons whose stay on the territory of Poland is undesirable, was not allowed in by the Border Service for reasons of state security and protection of public order.

Quote: "Poland consistently opposes the regimes of Putin and Lukashenko, denying entry to persons who support the actions of Russia and Belarus," the message of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country summarises.

Reminder:

Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Lithuanian Migration Department cancelled the residence permits of 135 Russian citizens who share the Kremlin's views on the war.

Last week, Lithuania's Migration Department reportedly revoked the residence permit issued to Russian citizen Vladimir Vodo after intelligence agencies deemed him a threat to national security.
