Serbian President Vucic cuts US visit short due to health issue

His delegation said Vucic began feeling unwell after meeting US congresswoman Claudia Tenney, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Serbian entrepreneurs in the US.

Vucic informed Finance Minister Sinisa Mali and presidential media advisor Suzana Vasiljevic that he was not feeling well and left for Serbia on the first available flight.

Dragan Dincic, a cardiologist and Vucic's doctor of 10 years, said the president experienced severe chest pain and high blood pressure while in the US. He noted that Vucic had previously faced similar issues, but the most recent episode was a bit different.

Dincic confirmed Vucic’s condition is now stable. Mali added that Vucic has been discharged from a hospital and is resting at home, with all scheduled engagements canceled.
