Is May 9 canceled in Moscow? Serbian President Vucic urgently hospitalized: EADaily
- Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic experienced chest pain related to high blood pressure during a trip to Florida in early May 2025 and promptly returned to Belgrade for care at the Military Medical Academy.
- Vucic’s health issues emerged as EU officials intensified their efforts to dissuade him from attending Russia’s May 9 Victory Day celebrations in Moscow, which honor eight decades since the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi forces in World War II.
- Despite EU officials warning that his participation could jeopardize Serbia’s EU accession prospects, Vucic remained determined to attend the event, which will include involvement from Serbian military personnel and confirmed guests such as Fico, while Hungary opted out, referencing historical alliances during World War II.
- Doctors confirmed Vucic remains in stable condition but ordered rest, and Deputy PM Sinisa Mali stated, “I assume that he will keep his word” to attend the Victory Day celebrations held on Moscow’s Red Square.
- Vucic’s expected attendance, praised by Russian President Putin as a courageous stand against EU pressure, signifies a pivotal moment for Serbia’s diplomatic balance between Moscow and Brussels.
