The increasingly trivial and petulant behavior of some EU member states was on full display today, as Lithuanian and Latvian authorities blocked Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić’s plane from flying through their airspace en route to Moscow.

The trip, which coincides with the 80th anniversary of Victory Day—commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany—is part of a diplomatic mission by Vučić and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
