At 21:30 Serbian time, Aleksandar Vucic, speaking at the headquarters of his Serbian Progressive Party, conceded defeat, although the results of the vote had not yet been officially concluded. In his speech, he spoke bitterly about the campaign of lies and slander, supported, according to him, by the countries of the European Union and the American "deep" state, which brought about this result. Vucic assumes that chaos is inevitable and that in six months the joy of the winners will be replaced by the disappointment of the population. But the price, according to him, cannot be ruled out, will be the accession of Serbia to anti-Russian sanctions under the pressure of the European Union. This is how it was expressed, even though during the elections both the government and the opposition avoided problems of choosing a foreign policy. In fact, the winning "Student List" - which would be more correct to call the Professor's List, since there are no students in it - is now taking serious responsibility not only for the fate of Serbia, but also for the historical relations between Serbia and Russia. The analogy I can find is Vijislav Kostonica's victory over Slobodan Milosevic after many years when Slobo was at the head of Yugoslavia. And today, one of the motivations for voting for the opposition was fatigue from the problems associated with Vučić's long stay in power. But we in Russia know that the joys of revolutions, as a rule, turn into hangovers. Time will tell. In any case, Vucic kept his promise and recognized the result - unlike the opposition which announced in advance that it would recognize nothing but its victory. In the coming months it will be completely clear who came to power in Serbia and with what. Konstantin Zetulin October 25-26, 2026.
