Serbia:
Serbia’s parliamentary elections have delivered a historic political upheaval, with the student-led opposition securing a projected parliamentary majority and ending more than a decade of political dominance by Aleksandar Vučić. The result reflects widespread public frustration with corruption, institutional failures and entrenched political dogma rather than an unequivocal desire to realign Serbia with the West.
Although Brussels may welcome the prospect of this new government, the victorious movement has maintained Serbia’s opposition to sanctions against Russia and its longstanding position on Kosovo. This creates a potentially uncomfortable situation for the European Union, which could find itself dealing with a government more committed to institutional reform but no more willing than its predecessor to accept key European foreign-policy demands. Meanwhile, Vučić’s political organisation retains substantial parliamentary representation and influence within state institutions
