Fico and Vucic are not allowed to Moscow – planes will be “blocked”

According to media reports, aircraft are not allowed to pass through three countries at once.

Lithuania and Latvia have banned a plane carrying Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić from flying over their territory to Moscow.

According to the Serbian newspaper ” Novosti “, Vilnius explained the refusal of the flight by “technical and diplomatic sensitivity”. Later, Riga also made a similar decision, explaining it by the “political sensitivity of the purpose of the flight” of the Serbian plane.

In addition, the newspaper reports that Poland and Lithuania previously banned Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico from flying in their skies.

Parade in Moscow on May 9

As UNIAN reported, Russia previously announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire from May 8 to 10, timed to coincide with the May 9 celebrations .

Ukraine called the initiative insincere, calling for a 30-day ceasefire. President Volodymyr Zelensky said he could not guarantee the safety of foreign guests in Moscow.

Russia announced that 29 world leaders would participate in the parade, including Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Brazilian President Inacio Lula da Silva, and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

The intention of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to attend a military parade in Moscow has caused a scandal in the European Union.

Belgrade was warned that the president’s trip to Russia would violate the criteria for EU membership and pose a threat to the country’s European integration . However, Vučić still did not change his decision.
