Vucic's Journey Halted in Baku; Travel Restrictions Prevent Moscow Visit
Headline: Serbia's Prez Plane Grounded, Bound for Baku After Lithuania and Latvia Shut Airspace
Hey there! Let's dive into the latest drama surrounding the President of Serbia, Alexander Vučić. After a unexpected detour, his plane landed in Baku due to some unusual circumstances.
It seems certain countries, namely Lithuania and Latvia, weren't keen on letting Vučić pass through their skies. And, no, it wasn't because of bad weather or anything like that. According to reports from Blic, it was the fear of drone attacks in Russia and possible air defense operations that led to the travel ban.
Vučić was on his way to Moscow for the May 9th parade and a spicy meeting with Putin on Friday. But, due to some political dance between countries, the Serbian presidential plane had to take a significant detour, causing a bit of a stir.
Russian airports are a chaotic mess today, with drone attacks causing havoc and dozens of flights being delayed in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Wait times for passengers were immense, with people spending hours trapped inside planes on runways.
Despite the potential risks and warnings from European officials, Vučić decided to take a roll of the dice and go to Russia. This decision was not a simple one, given that he had fallen ill earlier in the US and was hospitalized upon his return to Belgrade. But, don't worry, his condition is stable now, albeit he won't be returning to active duties anytime soon.
This whole situation reminds us of another political leader, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who also faced similar restrictions due to the political sensitivity of attending the same events in Russia. So, it seems politics really does make for strange bedfellows, doesn't it?
