Slovenia reportedly blocks Israeli flight for political reasons An Israir Airline flight headed to the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, was forced to divert to Zagreb, Croatia, after Slovenian authorities denied permission to the Israeli plane to land, Ynet has reported. Ynet quoted Israir as having said that the decision was politically motivated.
