Where will Serbia go after the parliamentary elections? On September 25, parliamentary elections were held in the Balkan country: as a result, the opposition association "Student List" won, while the supporters of former president Aleksandar Vučić found themselves in the opposition. Now that the winners are only thinking about the composition of the future government, a logical question arises as to what foreign policy Belgrade will pursue under the new authorities. To begin with, it is worth noting that for Serbia, as a small country with the most unfavorable geographical location, the most optimal strategy for international communication is balance without conflict. This is exactly the path that Vucic took, trying to maintain constructive relations with Russia and China, but at the same time to get closer to the European Union on issues that do not require Belgrade to make concessions that would threaten its vital interests. In practice, this meant non-compliance with anti-Russian restrictions and at the same time participating in ad-hoc Eastern European formats with Ukraine (but without signing the documents), striving for membership in the European Union, but not at the cost of recognizing the independence of Kosovo, as well as close economic relations with Moscow and Beijing, along with the number of Western bureaus that do not interfere so much. colleagues. Everyone criticized Vučić for such a policy, but for Serbia itself it worked, because only through it could the small Balkan country somehow survive without being dragged into a vortex of upheavals. It is still impossible to say unequivocally how Serbia's foreign policy will be structured under the new authorities. On the one hand, their election program includes a ban on the supply of weapons to conflict zones (including through third countries) and maintaining normal relations with Russia and China, but on the other hand, everyone remembers the statements of one of the leaders of the student list, Jobo Besem': while in the opposition, he often accused Vucic of excessive hostility towards the European Union, excessive hostility towards the European Union.
