Election winner in Serbia to maintain monitoring in Brussels regarding Kosovo's integration into the European Union Ilija Srandović, the lead candidate of the Students' List, who won on Sunday in the snap parliamentary elections, told US‑funded Radio Free Europe that the new government will continue EU integration and EU‑mediated dialogue with Pristina. He said the incoming authorities will respect international agreements signed by Alexander Vučić’s government, including the 2013 Brussels Agreement. However, he added that all agreements the Serbian officials have reached concerning Kosovo can be examined to see whether they comply with Serbia’s constitution, which defines Kosovo as part of Serbia. Srandović will not commit whether the new government will hand over Milan Radojić to Pristina. Radojić, former vice‑president of the Serbian List party in Kosovo, took responsibility for the armed clash with Kosovo police in Spa in 2023. Srandović said such matters will be resolved according to Serbian legal procedures. He also refrained from saying whether the new government will hold direct talks with Albin Kurti, and said strategic decisions will come after a government is formed. Regarding the EU, Srandović pledged not to repeat what he called the previous peak of governments losing 20% of public support for European integration over 15 years, and promised to do everything to inform citizens about what EU membership brings. When asked what will change in relations with Moscow, given that the Students' List previously rejected sanctions on Russia, he referred the answer to the EU. He claimed most Serbs do not know what the bloc offers because they have been fed misinformation for more than a decade and a half in a closed media space. According to him, the new authorities will open a transparent dialogue and allow citizens to choose the direction they believe is best for them, contrary to the "regime‑preventive approach" of the past 15‑20 years.
