Human Factors; Procedure
Aircraft X AND Aircraft Y were on collision courses at the same altitude! Our supervisor had to call the ZDV supervisor to tell them to tell the controller to separate the two aircraft so there wouldn't be a midair within 30 seconds of crossing the ZMP boundary! The conflict alert went off in ZDV airspace and then they finally descended Aircraft X to FL350. We had westbound traffic at FL360 they needed to miss.Apparently filling out numerous reports and having our supervisors and Area managers talk to the ZDV facility are not working. Something needs to be done to stop this daily routine!
ZMP Center Controller reported an unsafe situation where two aircraft were on a collision course. Denver Center Sector 9 was involved; the ZMP Controller noticed the two aircraft and had the FLM call ZDV Sector 9 to fix the problem.
