Poland's special envoy to the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), Edmund Klich, will visit Moscow on Monday to study the committee's probe into the crash in April of a Polish presidential plane in western Russia.

Klich and other Polish experts working on a probe of the deadly crash, which killed 96 people, earlier expressed their dissatisfaction with the documents provided by the Russian side. Most of the complaints concerned a lack of technical details about the Severny airport in Smolensk at which the plane was to land.

"On Monday I will fly to Moscow. On Tuesday, the IAC will give us the draft report. On Thursday I will return to Poland," Klich told journalists.

"From that moment, the Polish side will begin to formally assess the IAC report," the Polish expert added.

Klich will be accompanied by a representative of the Polish governmental commission investigating the tragedy.
