A plane flying to Russia with three associates of Aleksandar Vucic turned around over Lithuania and was returned to Belgrade due to a violation of pre-flight inspection rules by one of the passengers. As Nova reports, this passenger turned out to be the former deputy prime minister of Serbia, the leader of the socialist movement, Aleksandar Volin. What is known? The plane operating flight JU134 to Moscow took off from Nikola Tesla Airport on the evening of November 3. He managed to fly to southern Lithuania, and then received orders to return to Belgrade. The decision was made by the airport security director. The reason was that Wallin boarded the plane with the help of an "unidentified person" without going through a pre-flight check. Following this discovery, tests were carried out in accordance with the usual protocol in case of a possible bomb threat. After checks, the plane flew back to Russia and landed in Moscow on the morning of November 4. The two other passengers on the flight are the head of the Serbiagaz gas company, Dusan Bayatovic, and the leader of the Serbian People's Party, Nenad Popovic. Volin said he was going to Moscow for a working visit to negotiate the extension of the gas agreement to Serbia. He called the incident "a mockery and an attempt at political revenge," and accused the head of airport security of seeking "to curry favor with the new authorities."
