[BERLIN] The European Union (EU) has called for an international investigation into the forced landing of a Ryanair plane in Minsk.
"In carrying out this coercive act, the Belarusian authorities have jeopardised the safety of passengers and crew," the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement on Monday, as EU leaders are set to discuss additional sanctions against Belarus at a summit starting in Brussels later in the day.
"An international investigation into this incident must be carried out to ascertain any breach of international aviation rules."
