Narrative:
Piarco center failed to coordinate a flight at 35,000'. The aircraft entered san juan airspace without knowledge to the san juan controller. The problem was discovered when an commercial radio message was received with a position report inside sjv airspace. At that time it was discovered that the aircraft was in direct conflict with another aircraft. Action was taken to climb the first aircraft but separation was lost already.
