Globally: leaders of 29 countries will arrive in Russia on May 9th

During the celebrations, Moscow will become the diplomatic capital.

On the same day, the Serbian newspaper Evening News reported that the Lithuanian and Latvian authorities had banned Vucic's plane from crossing their airspace while the Serbian president was heading to Moscow to participate in events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The country's main Victory anniversary parade will traditionally take place on Red Square in Moscow. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on April 30, the high-level representation of many countries at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow indicates that they share the importance of the May 9 holiday.
