Belgrade [Russia], April 29: Serbian President AleksandarVucic made a public appearance in the east of the country on Friday, refuting claims he had been urgently admitted to hospital due to an unnamed illness.
Vucic visited the Zajecar district and made a speech in the tourist resort of Sokobanja, just hours after the media had reported that he had been hospitalized.
The president said that Serbia will provide more tourist vouchers to keep as many people as possible in the country, especially during the summer months.
Earlier on Friday, Vucic told the Russian news agency Sputnik he is fine. "I'm going on a tour of Serbia today from noon," said Vucic.
Allegations about Vucic's urgent hospital admittance had derived solely from posts Thursday on social media, which were republished by local media as unverified rumors.
