I explained to them that if I didn't make it, I would have to spend the night in Vienna as the connecting flight was the last flight of the day to Belgrade (OS7133/JU313). The cabin crew said that all flight at Vienna would be disrupted and that I should not worry.
When you asked them, were the doors closed already? If so, there was not much anymore they could do. If the doors were not closed (especially if there were still people boarding), they should have allowed you to leave and reroute you.
In Vienna, I can't believe that they couldn't get you out of immigration. Especially you having a visa that was just expired, there shouldn't have been a reason not to allow you in. I guess if you had been someone who had never had a Schengen visa before, I could understand their hesitation. Why would any reasonable person at immigration deny you to enter the country? I would think that the AUA people did not try hard enough to convince immigration.
