Air Serbia flight JU134, which was at the center of worldwide attention last night, has finally landed at its intended destination.
“Air Serbia flight JU134 (briefly the most tracked flight in the world) landed safely in Moscow this morning, with a new crew (due to regulations on working hours) but, as it turned out, the same rather interesting passengers, after a seven-hour delay,” Tango Six editor Petar Vojinović wrote.

As Serbian Times has already reported, this flight turned into a full-blown scandal and midair drama when the aircraft, after reaching the far south of Lithuania, suddenly turned around and headed back to Belgrade. The order to return was issued by the head of corporate security at Nikola Tesla Airport after it emerged that security procedures had not been followed — specifically, that Aleksandar Vulin had been escorted onto the plane without undergoing the standard checks.

As many as three pro-government officials had set off on the unusual journey to Moscow: Socialist Movement leader Aleksandar Vulin, Srbijagas director Dušan Bajatović, and Serbian People’s Party president Nenad Popović. Their departure was also accompanied by a post from Democratic Party president Srđan Milivojević, who asked on X: “And who is fleeing to Moscow tonight on the 6:30 p.m. flight?”
After landing back in Belgrade, Vulin appeared live on TV Informer and said that he had “slept through the whole thing,” explaining: “Nobody told us anything. We just woke up, I had fallen asleep… I wake up and they tell me: ‘You’re in Belgrade.’ I see the police and special forces and ask: ‘Have you come for me?’” Vulin accused the airport’s head of security of carrying out a political vendetta in order to “prove himself to the new authorities” and claimed that he was travelling to Moscow for gas negotiations.

However, his fellow passenger Dušan Bajatović immediately contradicted him in a statement to N1, saying that he was the only authorized gas negotiator, while he had no idea why Vulin and Popović had even boarded the flight: “I don’t see Mr. Popović at the moment either, to be honest. We didn’t get off together,” Bajatović pointed out.

After a thorough inspection of the luggage, renewed security checks of all passengers and a crew change, the plane eventually took off seven hours late and landed safely in Moscow this morning.
