Aleksandar Vucic and his big-tent coalition have been in power since 2012, and even if they weren't an incompetent, repressive kakistocracy, in most societies that have parliamentary and presidential elections they would have most likely overstay their welcome after twelve years in office.

Musk is trolling you again
The alt-right movements trolling as an inflammatory tactic to galvanize its own followers is not counterproductive to their cause, because their followers relish in "owning the libs", even if it hurts their own wellbeing, standard of living and chances in life.
Vucic isn’t Assad
A good portion, if not the majority of the Serbian electorate never had a problem with the war crimes committed by the political parties that comprised the government of Slobodan Milošević. In fact, those same crimes are considered as proof of the patriotic virtues espoused by the current Serbian administration, led by Milošević's former minister of information, Aleksandar Vučić.
No, Serbia is not ditching Russian weaponry
Serbia is reportedly shifting its military procurement from Russia to China, driven by sanctions and Western pressure. General Milan Mojsilovic noted delays in Russian contracts, leading to increased use of Chinese weaponry, such as the FK-3 air defense system. Despite claims of neutrality, Serbia remains close with BRICS amid skepticism about its military transparency.
Serbian non-revolution
National Youth Council of Serbia, in its 2024 Alternative report on the position and needs of young people in the Republic of Serbia, finds that 57 percent of young people (aged 15 to 30 years old) in Serbia feel that we need a strong leader. The Serbian student protesters are not the democratic role models you are looking for.
His Royal Awesomeness Elon Musk

Blood on the fashion runway
The general public in Serbia, especially the people who tend to see themselves as members of upper class, mostly ignore or scoff the plights of the economically less fortunate. The Novi Sad canopy collapse wouldn't cause such a nationwide outrage if the tragedy happened in a mine or a munitions factory.
Serbia, Russia’s little sabre rattler
The main issue to understand concerning Serbia-Russia relations is that the Serbian revanchists based their policies on the premise that one day Russia and China will rise up against US-led Western hegemony, which will enable us to have another go at making a Greater Serbia.
Why Serbia stands with Trump
Yes, yes, Serbia 35% tariffs, Trump crazy. But Serbian political discourse and The Donald already have some history behind them. Read which convicted Serbian war criminal supported Trump's presidential bid since 2016, and how and why Carl Bildt got to mock Vučić on Twitter in 2020. Plus, we really dig vindictive narcissist dilettantes here.
How Russia intends to collect Google’s fine
The recent high fine imposed on Google by a Russian court symbolizes the Kremlin's assertiveness, reflecting the absurdity of despotic power. While they make grand gestures, actual accountability for Russia’s actions, like the $4.25 billion confiscation ordered by a Finnish court for damages in Ukraine, continues to escalate.
