SU is not flying to BEG any more but YU is flying from Belgrade to Moscow. They even increased the frequency and to twice a day and placed the A330 on the route. And it looks like EU can't stop these flights.

Serbia is not under any sanction, JU can freely use EU airspace, why should the EU even want/try to stop the BEG-MOW flights? The sanctions are meant to hit Russian entities.

Some EU leaders mentioned that Serbia, as an EU candidate, should align it's foreign policy with the rest of the EU.

Being a REAL EU candidate they should indeed !

We can not ask this from the ME countries / carriers, but any European / US / UK person using these ME carriers should think twice where she/he takes her/his business. Patronizing those carriers was always questionable for human rights and political reasons and is even more now.

Well, Aeroflot is going nowhere now, it seems, save Minsk: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/05/w...suspended.html

To watch Putin sink his country's economy so rapidly is breathtaking.

To join their "neo communist friends" - as long the spare parts last . The A350 is really a good plane. Russian civil aviation will be grounded in a couple of weeks if the sanctions work.
