The seal described the plane’s return as an attempt to political confronting it, claiming there was nothing illegal on its journey.
He added that his destination was Moscow, where he was planning to hold talks concerning the continuation of Serbia’s gas supply agreement.
We remember that at 6:48 a.m., he arrived in southern Lithuania, where, according to the flight platform data, he changed direction and set off to return to Belgrade.
