Both of those fellas look rather young. Methinks it will be a dangerous place to be.

Reading further into the article ---

"Vucic announced his sickness when he had to cut short his visit to the United States. The Serbian president consulted with doctors while in the U.S. who advised him to return to Belgrade..."

If both got cold feet, that's one thing. If both actually caught a bug while on state visits to the US, that's something different.

That’s probably a result of a high-pressure wave from Brussels.

The Russians will happily celebrate victory in Europe as we would July 4th.

So, after years of condemning Russia's alleged assassinations and attempts, you're bragging about attempts on the lives of Vučić and Fico?

That absolutely surprises no one.

Zeepers and globalists are just as big of hypocrites as Democrats.

The Vucic illness was so severe US doctors advised him not to return to Serbia. Heart problem. There was some talk of a medical assassination attempt while in the US, so he chose to leave the US and return to Serbia, despite the advice.

He went directly from airplane to a Belgrade hospital on arrival. Cancellation of Moscow trip likely but not certain. He wants to go.

Vucic does face a challenging election upcoming. Heart stressor.

Polling suggests he can form a coalition govt and hold power, but his party will definitely lose seats upcoming.

Thanks for the added info. Looked a little further:

“The American doctors carried out all the necessary tests, and the president, contrary to their recommendation, decided to return home,” he said.

Dr Dincic said it was unrealistic to expect the president to be able to fully resume his regular activities in the coming days. The president had encountered “similar problems” three times in the past 10 years, he added. Serbian President out of hospital after cutting short US trip

One recalls that we -- meaning NATO, sort of -- bombed Serbia for a couple of months during the Clinton years (1999), which still echoes in Serbian media.

You mean the RA re-took some ground, since the RA's lines have been falling backwards the past couple of weeks.

Very cool, now the Neocons are POISONING leaders they don’t like, even NATO/EU elected leaders. Yet more “Democracy” in action by the West.

Well, as the Neocons said: “We have tools.” - and apparently that is the case!

By the way, going to now be difficult for the Zeepers to bitch at Putin for allegedly getting rid of opponents, at least with any credibility.

“”””The Russians will happily celebrate victory in Europe as we would July 4th.””””

Don’t dare compare the two, the 4th was a war of independence, for Russia starting in the 1930s what became WWII was a war of conquest and empire, when empire building Germany clashed with empire building Russia it actually resulted in many more conquests for Russia and a much larger empire for them, Russia was not freeing nations, but enslaving them, Russia was building an empire, and those nations did not escape until Russia collapsed in the 1990s.
