Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced plans to attend Russia’s Victory Day military parade in Moscow on May 9 despite warnings from European Union officials that such a visit risks hindering the country’s ambitions to join the bloc. This year’s event, which marks 80 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany,  includes, for the first time, Serbian military units in the parade.

Earlier in the month, EU diplomat Kaja Kallas called on all European governments not to attend, as she claimed doing so would effectively show support for the Kremlin and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Kallas restated her position this week, telling reporters that “any participation in the May 9th parades or celebrations in Moscow will not be taken lightly on the European side, considering that Russia is waging a full-scale war in Europe.”

Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico has previously indicated that he would join Vučić in traveling to Moscow. In previous years, several countries have sent delegations to the parade, including leaders from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Laos, and Cuba.
