New special Eurobarometer survey shows that in the Western Balkans, the support for joining the EU is lowest in Serbia, 33%. The theory and practice of fighting fire with fire by using alt-right kakistocratic ideology to fight the alt-right kakistocracy of Aleksandar Vučić is now coming back to bite the vindictive and shortsighted Heavenly People.

Serbian protests are not a plebiscite
Contrary to the popular belief, the student and civic protesters and the Serbian government are not the only political factors of relevance, despite the efforts, both in Serbia and abroad, to present them as such.
All pumped out and nowhere to go
With the Russian government coming in open vocal support of their Serbian counterparts, through the mouth of the Russian ambassador in Serbia, it is worth noting that one of the reasons for the failure of Serbian student and civic protests is the protesters' desire to keep the BRICS-dominated economy in Serbia after the removal of SNS from power, and keep Serbia out of EU.
Myth of the neutrals and other Serbian political fairytales
The student and civic protesters, who represent the third, latest manifestation of Serbian alt-right populist sentiment, following the one that gave rise to Slobodan Milošević in the late 1980s and the second one that returned Aleksandar Vučić to power in 2012, are now getting a dose of reality with the opposition parties taking back the forefront from pro-Russian extremists.
The pan-European illiberal alliance is very much real
The European alt-right always seems to be there for each other. Aided by their American brethren, support goes from Dodik to Le Pen, MAGA to Dodik and Le Pen and AfD, Dodik to Putin, Vučić to Dodik, Orban to Dodik and Le Pen, round and round they go.
Stop pestering the European Union over Serbia’s Serbian-made problems
The European Union, with a special accent on its executive arm the European commission is now an unofficial official scapegoat for every real and every imaginary problem that pops into someone's mind.
Thirty years after the Srebrenica genocide, Serbia has a new generation of war crimes fans
The majority of Serbian society, and that includes the people in both Serbia and Republika Srpska, continues with the war crimes denial, because it is a basis for the Serbian authoritarian, parochial grievance politics. This isn't just state policy, as espoused in the actions and inactions of the governments in Belgrade and Banja Luka, but a sentiment shared by most people across the political spectrum, both in the ruling parties and the majority of opposition movements. Yes, by the students in Serbia, as well.
The Hamas cheerleaders of Serbia
The Serbian political discourse on the entire spectrum continues with its anti-Western and revisionist hysteria by coming in support of Hamas and continuing to deny crimes committed by Serbian forces during the Yugoslav Wars. Intellectuals like Timothy Snyder should stop voicing their support to things that they know nothing about, all based on wishful thinking and second-hand information.
Serbian students cycled, and Jesus was their copilot
A bunch of young folks from Serbia, Europe's most polluted country, sporting rather pricey cycling gear, came to Strasbourg, France, to complain about Serbian-made problems, and like all true fighters for human rights and democracy, they made a stop at the Serbian Orthodox Christian Church in Munich, because apparently they couldn't find enough churches in Serbia.
The square circle logic of Serbian protests
Recent protests in Serbia, notably the general strike, aim to challenge the autocratic regime of President Vucic. However, the protests often lack effective impact as many businesses remain operational. Official demands focus on transparency and university funding, but protesters avoid directly calling for regime change due to socio-political taboos. The discontent reflects a deeper sense of national identity and responsibility.
