Lithuanian authorities have officially banned the flight of a Serbian plane to Moscow carrying Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, reports Belgrade's "Novosti".
The pro-regime newspaper writes that Lithuanian authorities state that the overflight of a plane carrying Vučić was prohibited due to "technical and diplomatic sensitivity."
It is not explained how this could prevent a flight to Moscow from Belgrade, although the plane has to bypass Ukraine due to a ban on civilian aircraft flights, as it does not have to fly over Lithuania.
The same media outlet reports that Latvia has also banned the Serbian plane from flying to Moscow, due to the "political sensitivity of the purpose of the flight."
The Kremlin announced earlier today that Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold bilateral talks with Vučić on May 9th.
The Serbian president had previously announced that he would attend the Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9. He cut short his visit to the United States three days ago because he fell ill.
