Vucic announced damages of one million euros due to the U-turn of the plane carrying Serbian politicians Former President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, referred to the incident with an Air Serbia plane that circled over Lithuania on the evening of November 3 during a flight from Belgrade to Moscow. According to him, the return of the plane led to damage of at least one million euros, and also caused damage to the airline's reputation. Speaking as the leader of the parliamentary opposition, Vucic said Serbia's director Dusan Bachatovic, Socialist Movement leader Aleksandar Volin and Serbian People's Party chairman Nenad Popovic were on board. In his video message posted on social media, Vucic said the decision to return the plane was made by a man who allegedly wanted to show loyalty to the Student List, a political force opposed to the previous government. "The plane made a scheduled flight to Moscow. Bayatovich, Popovich and Volin Tso. Then, when the plane was in the Vilnius area, they took it and said: return the plane. This was said by Oshine who wanted to please the list of students. They play with these things. When the plane was returned, the people lost two hours, then had to wait in Belgrade and hit the road again. In all about eight or nine hours were lost. Volin is in Moscow because of course nothing was found. Listening to various opposition lies, you probably imagined themselves as prosecutors. But my question is: who will pay for it? The damage amounts to at least one million euros. And I'm not even talking about reputational risks and what people had to endure." - said Vucic. Vucic also said that he sees the incident as an expression of political persecution, which he says is part of the activities of the student list. "And today they are using the Serbian air that I created together with my associates. Don't destroy it, because you don't know anything.
