The Polish authorities have no plans to postpone the funeral of President Lech Kaczynski, who was killed in a plane crash last week, because of ash clouds from a volcanic eruption in Iceland, the Polish TVN24 channel said on Friday.
All air traffic has been suspended in several north European countries, and the deputy chief of the Chancellery of the President of Poland, Jacek Sasin, said earlier that some world leaders could be prevented from coming to pay their last respects to Kaczynski.
The funeral for late Kaczynski and his wife Maria is scheduled for Sunday.
A Soviet-made Tu-154 aircraft carrying a top-level Polish delegation crashed as it attempted to land at Russia's Smolensk airport in thick fog on Saturday morning. All 96 people on board were killed in the crash.
