Serbia\u2019s President Aleksandar Vucic has cut short a visit to the United States and returned to Serbia after feeling sudden chest pain apparently caused by high blood pressure, doctors said on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Vucic, 55, suddenly fell ill during a meeting in the US on Friday and decided to return home against the advice of US doctors, said cardiologist Dragan Dincic, from Belgrade\u2019s Military Hospital, where Vucic was treated upon arrival. <\/p>\n
Dincic said Vucic took additional therapy after the incident and was now in \u201cstable and satisfactory condition.\u201d Dincic added that Vucic won\u2019t be hospitalized but \u201ccannot be expected to return to his regular activities for several days.\u201d <\/p>\n
Vucic was previously in Miami, Florida, where he had met with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. Vucic had said he also was hoping to meet with US President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n
Richard Grenell, US presidential envoy for special missions, expressed hope that Vucic would recover. \u201cSorry to miss you but hope all is ok,\u201d Grenell wrote on X. <\/p>\n
Serbia\u2019s populist leader also has said he would travel to Russia later this month to attend a Victory Day parade in Moscow, despite warnings from European Union officials that this could affect Serbia\u2019s bid to join the bloc. <\/p>\n
Vucic has refused to join Western sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. He also has been under pressure at home following six months of persistent anti-corruption protests triggered by the collapse of a roof at a train station in the country\u2019s north that killed 16 people. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
