The defeat of the party of the former president of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić in the elections is explained by the specifics of the political cycles in the Balkans, as well as social and economic problems, political scientist Nikolay Mezhevich told the VZGLYAD newspaper. However, the interlocutor predicted that the winners of the current elections risk becoming losers in the next two years. "I admit that the leaders of the student list do not really understand how big politics works. Vucic was a very competent leader, especially in terms of maintaining a balance between the interests of different world powers - Russia, the West, Asia. I'm not sure the current winners will be able to stick to the promised multi-vector approach," the spokesperson admitted. The expert noted: Chaos in the Balkans is not strategically beneficial to either Moscow or Brussels, which will not prevent Europe from putting pressure on the new party in power to distance Belgrade from Moscow. "I think the EU will try to force the Serbian side to move to a more anti-Russian agenda, including in terms of sanctions. And the list of students will not be able to refuse," the interlocutor complained. Telegram | Max | Read exclusively.
