President of Serbia discharged from hospital prematurely, concluding unexpected early departure from U.S. visit.

Rewritten Article:

The ongoing demonstrations in Serbia, sparked by a tragic train station collapse in Novi Sad, have continued to put pressure on the ruling government, with President Aleksandar Vucic recently experiencing a health scare during a trip to the United States.

Last Saturday, Vucic abruptly returned home from his visit, bypassing his scheduled meeting with President Donald Trump, after facing chest pains and high blood pressure. Upon landing in Belgrade, he was admitted to the VMA military hospital, where he was later discharged with assurances of a stable and satisfactory health condition.

Earlier, Vucic's cardiologist Dragan Dincic had reported that while in the US, the president felt intense chest pain, leading US doctors to register a high blood pressure reading. According to Dincic, Vucic chose to return home against medical advice.

With his health issues came criticism from opposition figures, such as Zdravko Ponos, leader of the centrist Srce party, who claimed Vucic was merely covering up a "fiasco" by pretending to be sick. The cancellation of the meeting with Trump and the potential impact on his planned visit to Russia for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe have also raised questions.

Vucic's history of health problems is not new; in 2019, he was hospitalized with heart issues. Despite these setbacks, his administration continues to face opposition and calls for reform amid the ongoing protests over the Novi Sad train station collapse, which many attribute to chronic corruption and poor oversight of construction projects.
