Singer Sloba Vasić Hospitalized at Psychiatric Clinic After Flight Incident Singer Sloba Vasić’s dramatic removal from a Zurich‑bound flight has spiraled into a full‑blown public spectacle, with his hospitalization in a Belgrade psychiatric clinic feeding a tabloid frenzy and turning his private health crisis into neighborhood gossip and social‑media theater.

How the crisis unfolded

Over the weekend, Vasić allegedly boarded a flight to Zurich in a “visibly intoxicated” state and “caused problems,” forcing the captain and security to intervene and remove him from the plane, domestic outlets reported. The incident is said to have triggered his admission for treatment at the Clinic for Psychiatric Diseases “Dr Laza Lazarević” in Belgrade, where he has been “undergoing treatment” for several days.

Soon after, pro‑government tabloids framed the episode as the inevitable climax of a long‑running personal decline. One outlet splashed: “THIS IS THE TRUE FACE OF SLOBA VASIĆ: Neighbors expose the singer who is being treated at a psychiatric hospital: It was only a matter of time…”.

Neighbors pile on

Reporters fanned out to Vasić’s Belgrade neighborhood, where residents lined up to denounce him as a chronic drunk with “aggressive” outbursts and “pijan incidente” that allegedly had some ready to call the police. One neighbor claimed he had been “zreo za lečenje” (ripe for treatment) for a long time and said it was “only a matter of days” before something like the airport episode happened.

The same reports paint his wife, dentist and aesthetic practitioner Jelena Vasić, as the long‑suffering spouse who ended up on an IV drip from stress while still “coming to work, opening the clinic” and caring for their child alone.

Jelena fights back online

While tabloids speculate about the “true face” of her husband and the state of their marriage, Jelena has taken a sharper tone on social media. In one widely reported post, she asked: “You who count everyone’s mistakes, how are you doing with your own?”—a pointed rebuke to public moralizing. Another post, “Home is where your mom is,” ignited rumors of a possible split as commenters read it as a sign she may be preparing to go it alone with their daughter.

For now, Vasić remains in psychiatric care, caught between medical treatment, a hungry tabloid cycle, and a neighborhood only too eager to say they saw it coming.
