All countries had previously given permission for the flight, but in Azerbaijan he was waiting for permission to continue the flight due to combat operations, Tanjug reported, RTS reports.
"After many years, again in Moscow. Proud of the anti-fascist struggle of my Serbian people and grateful for the enormous help we had from the Red Army during the liberation of Serbia," Vučić wrote on the social network Instagram.
In the past few days, airports in several Russian cities have been closed due to attacks by Ukrainian drones.
Sputnik previously reported that Vučić had traveled to Moscow.
He is scheduled to have a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, as announced by the Kremlin.
Since Latvia and Lithuania banned Vučić from flying to Moscow, and the authorities of those two countries cited the "political sensitivity of the purpose of the flight" as the reason for the ban, it is not known which air corridor Vučić took to the Russian capital.
Russia marks the 9th anniversary of the victory over fascism in World War II on May 80 with a parade on Moscow's Red Square and a series of other events. More than 20 world leaders are expected to attend.
Vučić continued with his work duties
The President of Serbia returned to his work duties this morning, following health problems he had during his stay in the United States of America (USA), according to RTS.
At the Serbian Presidency, he met with the Russian Ambassador to Serbia, Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, and with the British Ambassador, Edward Ferguson.
It was previously announced that Vučić would address the citizens in the evening hours.
