Vucevic also condemned those wishing for President Vucic's death "and other morbid posts on social networks."

"There has been a sea of tweets, some of the most morbid ones wishing the president death and serious illness. You don't call misfortune on anyone, there is an unwritten rule that it can come back to haunt you. A person who has had any upbringing would not wish that on anyone. That's not what decent and normal people do," Vucevic told Happy TV.

He added that previously the presence of President Vucic in the US had been contested, while none of those claims were proven.

"They didn't prove anything, they just said whatever suits them. Even Richard Grenell reacted, wishing the president a speedy recovery. Then they elaborated that (Slovak President Robert) Fico and Vucic got ill out of the blue in order to avoid attending celebrations on May 9 (in Moscow). They root for a scenario that they describe in their posts, but that is impossible, because the White House would deny it. Those things are easy to verify," said Vucevic.

Vucic was suddenly taken ill during a visit to the United States. After he was examined and received medical help there, he decided to return to Serbia, which is why he was unable to appear at the main events he had traveled to the US for.

Immediately after landing in Belgrade on Saturday, Vucic was admitted to the Military Medical Academy (VMA).

The president was met at the VMA by Minister of Health Zlatibor Loncar and was released from the clinic the same day.
