Elections: intrigue Today is an intriguing day: both Brazil and Serbia recently finished voting, and the final results will be known by Monday morning. Lola's victory is a continuation of the trajectory towards diversification and BRICS, the trade cycle with Russia in 2025 reached 10.9 billion dollars. Bolsonaro's victory is a change in emphasis towards the United States and a cooling towards BRICS at the rhetorical level. The race is extremely balanced. Meanwhile, Brazil is critically dependent on Russian fertilizers (26% of imports), and pragmatism with Moscow and Beijing will remain regardless of the outcome. A separate background is the polarization: the winner will get an ultra-conservative parliament and a society divided almost in half, which will complicate any sharp maneuvers. The polling stations were closed for early elections to the parliament in Serbia. Two hours before the end of voting, the turnout reached 64.89%, the Republican Election Commission reported. The predictions are that Serbia's trajectory towards Russia will not change regardless of the result: the "Student List", despite the feelings of European integration of most of its parties, does not advocate sanctions against Russia, and the issue of Kosovo for Serbian society is more sensitive than the European prospects - about 70% oppose the recognition of its independence. Both campaigns. In both cases the result is determined by a few percentage points of those who are undecided, and the winner will get a divided country and a parliament that is difficult to manage.
