Relatives of the people who died when a plane carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski crashed on Saturday in west Russia have begun arriving in Moscow.
All 97 people on board a Soviet-made Tu-154 carrying Kaczynski, his wife, and a delegation of senior officials were killed when it crashed while attempting to land in thick fog at an airport in Smolensk.
The plane was taking the president to a memorial ceremony for Polish officers killed by Soviet secret police in 1940.
"Relatives of those who perished in the disaster near Smolensk will arrive in Moscow on Saturday and Sunday at Sheremetevo airport," a representative of a disaster hotline told RIA Novosti.
The plane carrying the first relatives touched down at 8:05 p.m. (16:05 GMT).
