Serbian President Navigates Diplomatic Skies Amidst Conflict
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic resumed his flight to Moscow for Russia's parade, marking World War Two's 80th anniversary after a delay in Baku due to closed airspace from drone strikes. He plans to meet President Putin, amidst EU urges to align with their foreign policies.
In a dramatic turn of events, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic resumed his journey to Moscow for Russia's World War Two victory parade, after his flight was unexpectedly halted in Baku, Azerbaijan due to regional airspace closures.
The interruption occurred after several countries closed their airspace following Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow, compelling the brief closure of the Russian capital's airports, according to Tanjug news agency.
Despite pressure from European Union officials to align with EU foreign policy and avoid Moscow's festivities, Vucic is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 9, the day of the parade.
