At least 13 seats separated Aleksandar Vučić from Vladimir Putin. Two places further is Vučić's friend in the political struggle in the Balkans - Milorad Dodik
Photos of Aleksandar Vučić next to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Victory Parade in Moscow they have traveled the world.
These are recordings recorded on May 9, but not in the year 2025, but - now long ago - in the year 2018. We don't have to deal with political diplomacy or the highest protocol to be clear to us that the seating arrangement at any such high international political event is a very important indication of relations. They often show us - those who are close to the organizer, always keep him with them, especially guests whose presence they value very much.
Seven years later, on May 9, 2025, at least 13 seats separated Aleksandar Vučić from Vladimir Putin. Two places further is Vučić's friend in the political struggle in the Balkans - Milorad Dodik.
Right next to Putin was actually Chinese President Xi Jinping. They sat next to each other on the stands of the Red Square and during the march of the troops, they talked and periodically exchanged comments, the media reports.
Thus, the large military parade in Moscow, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism in the Second World War, showed how much Vučić's arrival in Russia means to Putin.
This year's victory parade on Red Square was attended by more than 20 world leaders, including the presidents of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Corner of the Kremlin
"I see that the Russians have transferred their desire to humiliate Vučić from Washington to Moscow," wrote Srđan Milivojević on social networks.
He published a photo showing Vučić sitting in the last row at the gathering of this year's participants in Moscow. However, it is not known which meeting it is about.
I see that the Russians have transferred their desire to humiliate Vučić from Washington to Moscow.
No one humiliated Serbia with such dedicated effort and lust as the traitor Aleksandar Vučić.
Even some occupiers showed greater respect for Serbia and our people than this villain. pic.twitter.com/vpb7kYZDwy— Srđan Milivojević (@srdjanmil037) May 9, 2025
The Democratic Party announced that the place in "the corner of the Kremlin showed how much the international reputation of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is really worth, who was once again humiliated, not by students or citizens, but by those whom he has represented as his closest allies for years."
Sour look
Aleksandar Vučić's team also edited a short video about Vučić's visit to Moscow and his presence at the Parade, which was published on his Instagram page. Only one shot shows Vučić briefly shaking hands with Putin, while in shots from the stands, during the Parade itself, the President of Serbia is shown alone, with a sour look.

Storming Berlin
Guests at the Victory Parade on Red Square in Moscow received special gifts, among which the book of the poet Alexander Tvardovsky "Vasily Terkin", a cap and a board game with a specific name - "Attack on Berlin".
A group of 135 regime journalists signed under the advertisement in "Informer" calling for the establishment of a new association - "Association of Journalists of Serbia" (ANS).
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, boasted that he would write the world bestseller "How I Defeated the Colored Revolution" by June 28. On this occasion, the students in the blockade invite all citizens to gather in Belgrade for Vidovdan and celebrate Vučić's victory over them.
Journalist associations condemned the dismissal of journalist Marija Šehić and accused the management of "Juronjuz" of collapsing professional standards, concealing information and ignoring the union's demands.
Although the opposition claims that a person who was not on the voter's list voted, the Kosjerić MEC did not see a reason to cancel the election.
In a public appeal, 25 members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts accuse the President of Serbia of collapsing institutions, the media, the judiciary and the basic pillars of society.
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
