Why did Vucic admit defeat so quickly? - Political scientist Grigory Golosov "He seriously feared that his election commissions, inspired by previous experience and foreign models, would start drawing results enthusiastically. As a result, Serbia would become both de facto and in international opinion a true autocracy, but Vucic did not want that. Of course, Vucic will have to go through some very unpleasant moments, but it is unlikely that he will be jailed or even removed from politics, like Orban. He will still have: the role of leader of a fairly strong and united parliamentary opposition (which is important, since the new ruling movement is a bug and a toad), a chance to win elections in the future, and a significantly improved reputation. There are risks, but a politician who doesn't take risks is a bad politician." Read on the Echo website.
