AFAIK Air Serbia is still flying to Russia, and even doubled number of flights few days ago because of demand. I don’t know what’s the situation with visas, how long you can stay, how it is to open bank account, etc but historically Serbia is friendly towards Russia. Government does condemn Russia for this war, but I don’t think we’ll be implementing any kind of sanctions. Elections are in a month, and noone wants to loose votes of pro-russian part of population.

In a lot of ways, it's about stepping stones as well. Once out of the country and in a safe place there are more options.

I had heard that Russians were having trouble opening bank accounts in Georgia, but I can't verify that rumor. It's definitely a hard thing.

With the EU having banned Russia from its airspace, I wonder what route these flights take.

My friend is leaving Moscow for Serbia soon. They use Serbian airplanes which don't have any restrictions put on them.

Serbia does not have any flight restrictions - neither in EU and neither in Russia and Belarus. So they can fly between Moscow and Belgrade...

Direct, right? Air Serbia is presumably based in Serbia, not Russia.

Just check flightradar24. I see one from Moscow to Belgrade flying now over Poland.
