MOSCOW - Participants of the Moscow-Berlin motor rally organized by the Night Wolves bikers club are set to begin the rally this Saturday, as initially scheduled, despite being refused entry to Poland, the club's vice president, Felix Chernyakhovsky, told Interfax.
“Everything remains as was: we are starting tomorrow according to plan,” he said.
It emerged earlier on April 24 that Polish authorities had formally notified the Russian Embassy in Warsaw about having banned entry to participants of the Moscow-Berlin motor rally.
The bikers’ club was planning to perform the Moscow-Berlin motor rally, timed to coincide with the Victory Day, on April 25-May 9. The planned itinerary was to cross Belarus, Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. According to Alexander Zaldastanov, the club’s president, 15 bikers were to take part in the rally.
