Serbian president not well enough to fly to Moscow for Victory Day, doctor says

3 May 2025

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who is currently in hospital and had been due to attend Putin’s Victory Day parade in Moscow on 9 May, is unlikely to be able to perform his duties fully in the coming days, cardiologist Dragan Dinčić has said.

Details: The doctor noted that the president has had similar problems on three occasions over the past ten years, mostly related to extremely high blood pressure.

“I can’t go into the details, but while he was in America, the president [Vučić] experienced a severe chest pain that lasted for a short time – only a few seconds according to him, which is not quite consistent with the account of other people present in the room, who say the pain lasted a little longer,” Dinčić said.

Dinčić said that after conducting the necessary examinations and tests, doctors had concluded that Vučić’s current state of health is “stable and satisfactory”.

The doctors have adjusted his treatment and recommended that Vučić continue with further regular monitoring and treatment.

The president is expected to leave the hospital within the next hour.

Quote from Dinčić: “It is certainly unrealistic to expect that the president will be able to fully return to his normal activities within the next few days.”

Background:

  • Vučić had promised Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin that he would attend the 9 May parade in Moscow.
  • Vučić was suddenly taken ill during a visit to the United States. He sought medical attention and, after being examined, decided to return to Serbia.
  • Upon returning to Serbia, Vučić was admitted to the Military Medical Hospital in Belgrade.

  1. Yup … sure. He’s too “sick” to go to mordor. 😂
    First India and now Serbia. Two heavyweights not going to the doomed parade.

    • Here you are facts. Your very own scratch card. Shithole countries attending putlers donkey parade.

      the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić;
      the President of the Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik;
      the President of China, Xi Jinping;
      the President of Slovakia, Robert Fico;
      the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko;
      the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro;
      and the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,
      The parade will also be attended by the presidents of Burkina Faso, Vietnam, Cuba, Abkhazia, Azerbaijan, Palestine, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Armenia.

      No1 is already scratched off. Many more to follow.

        • It is rumoured that Fico has cancelled all appointments because of illness. How convenient.

          • Suddenly, a mysterious ailment is affecting some of putler’s buddies. Their doctors are busy inventing excuses for them.

            • Ukraine should be sending out subtle hints that it won’t be safe in Moscow on May 9. Even if Ukraine do nothing and get mafia land to cancel this parade, it would be a huge victory for Ukraine.

              • Looking at India and Serbia’s decision, the victory for Ukraine is already on its way.
                Regardless if any others will cancel or not, a massive attack should be carried out anyway, as a show of “thank you” for the non-stop attacks on Ukrainian cities.

  2. Thanks to the failure of the allies to provide an adequate modern air defence for Ukraine, they have to factor in the likely response from the putinaZis before launching any strike on May 9.
    The defenders never have enough to protect their citizens.
    They don’t at the moment have sufficient firepower even to put the putler bridge out of action for a while, let alone the capability to protect against the likely backlash.

    Some learned info about how to tackle the problem :

    • As I see it, the only viable weapon that can demolish that bridge are the Taurus cruise missiles. Will Ukraine ever get any?
      As with many other things, Ukraine would be better off building an analogous warhead for one of their own missiles.
