Bogdan Borusewicz, Poland"s Senate speaker,who was to lead a delegation of Polish politicians and lawmakers attending Nemtsov"s funeral was refused entry by Moscow in retaliation for EU sanctions against Russia"s upper house of parliament speaker Valentina Matviyenko.
The day before the funeral, the main witness in the murder case of Nemtsov, Anna Duritskaia flew from Moscow to Kiev with the help of the Ukrainian Embassy.
