A wheel fell off Serbian President Vucic's car while driving

A tire burst at full speed on the official vehicle carrying Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. This happened during the head of state's trip to the Central Banat District in the north of the country.

The Tanjug news agency reported the incident, citing representatives of the Serbian leader's administration. The politician himself, however, urged "not to make too much noise about it." He explained that most likely the tire exploded. Then, after a pause, he added that it might have been "something else."

"Whether the tire burst, exploded, or God knows what else, this should be determined by the competent authorities, and they will establish it," Vučić said.

He also added that the motorcade, albeit slowly, made it to Mokrin. There, the president switched to another car.

Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević stated that the incident cannot be taken lightly. According to him, after this incident, the president's security level will be significantly increased.
