Vucic expected at Moscow parade despite illness
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is expected to attend Russia's Victory Day celebrations, despite a recent health scare, Finance Minister and Deputy PM Sinisa Mali has said. The May 9 parade on Moscow's Red Square will mark the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. The Kremlin has invited a number of leaders from countries including Serbia, Slovakia, China, India, and Brazil. EU officials have warned member and candidate states against attending. On Friday, Vucic abruptly ended a trip to the US after experiencing chest pain during a meeting in Florida, reportedly caused by high blood pressure. He had planned to meet with the Serbian diaspora and US President Donald Trump, but returned to Belgrade and was admitted to the Military Medical Academy, according to local broadcaster RTS. Doctors said the president 'cannot be expected to return to his regular activities for several days.' Speaking on Saturday, Mali said Vucic will likely follow through with the visit. 'One thing I can say is, knowing him, considering that he is a man of his word, he gave his word that he would be there, I assume that he will keep his word. But I cannot tell you that at this moment.' Vucic was discharged from the hospital on Saturday. The Military Medical Academy confirmed that the president underwent cardiovascular and hematological diagnostics and is now in stable condition. Doctors ordered him to rest, and he has canceled all activities and obligations for the next few days. Among the EU leaders invited to the event were Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Slovak counterpart, Robert Fico. Hungary declined the invitation, stating that the end of World War II represented 'a bitter defeat' due to the country's alliance with Nazi Germany. Fico has confirmed his attendance. During a meeting with Vucic last month, EC Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos reportedly cautioned that his attendance would be held against Serbia's EU bid. Despite the pressure, Vucic said he had not changed his decision to attend the event, where a unit of the Serbian Armed Forces will also take part. Russian President Vladimir Putin praised those who accepted the invitation, calling them courageous for attending despite pressure from Brussels.

Chest pain forces Serbian president Vucic to skip Trump meet, now stable in Belgrade
BELGRADE: Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic was in a stable condition following his admission to a military hospital in Belgrade on Saturday after cutting short a visit to the United States, a doctor said. The news of Vucic's hospitalisation comes as he faces a widespread protest movement over a deadly accident at a train station in the northern city of Novi Sad. After coming home from the United States without meeting US President Donald Trump following pain in his chest, Vucic "was admitted to the Military Medical Academy immediately after landing" in Belgrade, his office said. Several hours after his admission, cardiologist Dragan Dincic told journalists that his state was "stable and satisfactory", which should allow him to be discharged within the day. According to Dincic, who heads the Serbian army's health directorate, Vucic felt "intense chest pain" while in the United States, with American doctors registering a high blood pressure reading. "The American doctors carried out all the necessary tests, and the president, contrary to their recommendation, decided to return home," he said. But Dincic said it was unrealistic to expect the president to be able to fully resume his regular activities in the coming days, adding that Vucic had encountered "similar problems" three times in the past 10 years. Vucic, elected in 2017 following three years as prime minister, was previously hospitalised in 2019 for heart issues. Vucic has been confronted with a wave of demonstrations sparked by the roof collapse at the Novi Sad train station in November 2204, which killed 16 people. Many in the Balkan nation blame the collapse on chronic corruption and a lack of oversight over construction projects. Ahead of his trip to the United States, Vucic had said he planned to meet Trump twice, and hinted at "important meetings" with top Republican and US officials in a video published on his arrival in Florida. Opposition figures were quick to brand Vucic's trip a failure. "He's covering up his fiasco with a story about a sudden health problem forcing him to rush back to Belgrade. There are no medicines in pharmacies in America," quipped Zdravko Ponos, leader of the centrist Srce party and a fierce critic of Vucic, and who ran against him in the 2022 presidential vote. The announcement also casts doubt over Vucic's promised visit to Serbia's traditional ally Russia for celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe on May 9. Vucic said Thursday that he would keep his word to Vladimir Putin and join around 20 world leaders travelling to Moscow for the occasion, commemorated with great pomp and an army parade on Red Square. But the trip would have risked the wrath of the European Union, which Serbia wishes to join, and which has sanctioned Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country would not take responsibility for the security of foreign leaders in Russia.
