Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić narrowly escaped a potentially dangerous situation when the vehicle he was traveling in lost a wheel while en route to the village of Mokrin, located in the North Banat District of Vojvodina. The incident, which occurred during his routine journey, raised concerns, though Vučić was unharmed.
According to the president, the vehicle’s wheel issue may have been caused by a damaged or burst tire. He stated that local authorities would investigate the incident to determine its exact cause. "Whether it was a damaged or burst tire, as I suspect, or something else, the relevant authorities will have to determine. They will do so. I arrived in Mokrin and switched to another car," Vučić explained following the incident.
While there are suspicions surrounding the cause of the mishap, including the possibility of foul play, Serbian officials have not confirmed any intentional act. The potential for an assassination attempt has not been ruled out, although there is currently no concrete evidence to support such a claim.
Vučić’s swift recovery from the incident and his calm reassurances have helped to quell immediate concerns. Local security services are continuing their investigation, but for now, the situation remains under close scrutiny as authorities work to uncover the full details.
This incident has drawn attention to the ongoing security challenges faced by high-profile figures, highlighting the need for constant vigilance even during seemingly routine travel. The investigation continues as Vučić and local authorities await further information.
