Title: The Baltic Nations' Stand Against Vucic's Moscow Visit for Victory Day Parade
Lithuania and Latvia have prohibited Vucic's air travel to Moscow for the Victory Day Parade.
The kerfuffle surrounding Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's flight to Moscow for the Victory Day Parade has stirred quite the commotion. Latvia and Lithuania, our Baltic neighbors, have put a hard stop to this special flight, with different reasons behind their decisions.
Latvia's rationale for the ban wasn't shy about being blunt—they denounced it as a matter of "political sensitivity regarding the purpose of the flight" [2][3][5]. Lithuania, on the other hand, opted for a more reserved approach, simply citing "technical and diplomatic sensitivity" as the culprit behind their decision [1].
This Barred-from-Flying situation sheds light on the brewing tensions and political machinations at play, particularly within the ever-shifting geopolitical landscape between the EU and Russia.
Curiously, despite the bans, news sources claim that Vucic did manage to make it to the celebrations in Moscow [4].
One can't help but raise an eyebrow at this whole debacle, remembering that the grandfathers of these very Baltic citizens weren’t battling against, but often alongside the fascists during World War II.

- In light of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's trip to the Warsaw Victory Day Parade being thwarted, it's not surprising that the general news is filled with debates about Vucic's politics and the geopolitical tension between the EU and Russia.
- Amidst the controversies surrounding Vucic's flight, it's worth noting that he was reportedly able to attend the celebrations in Moscow, despite the bans imposed by Lithuania and Latvia.
- The actions of the Baltic nations—Latvia and Lithuania—in barring Vucic from their airspace can be perceived as a form of resistance against the accusations of russophobia in their political decisions.
- As President Vucic celebrates military victories in Moscow, it's hard not to consider the irony, given the complex history of the Baltic nations and their grandfathers who fought, not always against, but often alongside fascists during World War II.
