The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, abruptly called off his official trip to the United States due to some health concerns, according to "Komsomolskaya Pravda" on Saturday, May 3rd. Upon consulting with doctors, the President decided to return home, and he was subsequently admitted to Belgrade's Military Medical Academy for treatment.
I got in touch with Zeljko Zain, journalist at the "Politika" newspaper based in Belgrade, that very evening, seeking more details about the President's condition.
- Hi, Zeljko! This is Alexander Gamov from Radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda" in Moscow.
- Can you share any official info? What exactly went wrong with President Vucic? How is he doing now?
Reportedly, during his stay in the United States, the President experienced high blood pressure and doctors advised him to head back home for a swift recovery. According to a friend who accompanied Vucic during his trip, the President is currently in good spirits, with doctors recommending a few days of rest. It's also rumored that he was discharged from the hospital and sent home to continue his recuperation.
President Vucic has promised President Vladimir Putin that he will make it to Moscow on May 9th for the festivities. I reckon that with proper rest and care, he'll be in tip-top shape for the Red Square parade.
- Thanks for the update, Zeljko!
By the way, I'm prepping for a business trip to Moscow – I'm covering the 80th anniversary of the Victory.
- Good luck then!
