AIR SERBIA will maintain controversial flights to Russia as a matter of principle, reports Bloomberg.
Almost every outbound flight to Russia has received threats since most of the EU closed its airspace to Russian carriers.
Serbia is among a handful of EU countries that haven't joined international sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
In early March, Air Serbia doubled its flights to Russia due to increased demand following the blockade but later reverted to its pre-war schedule after criticism.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic complained that airlines in Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar that fly to Russia weren't subject to the same criticism.
Serbia is a candidate for European Union membership and has condemned Russia's actions in Ukraine.
