The historic appearance in Serbia’s parliamentary elections, masked people in Belgrade, a member of a local election commission that ate two ballot papers, several horsehales and a busy message from Hungary: notes on the day and the night Aleksandar Vucuqi lost the election. With good feet…
1. Parliamentary elections ended in Serbia. The locations were open between 7:00 and 8:00. Aleksandar Vuciq lost the election. And 90 minutes after the location closed, he conceded defeat. This is good news for Serbia and for the region.
2.
Voter turnout seems to be historic. In all likelihood, it is over 70 percent. Without the diaspora.
Turnout in the 2000 presidential elections, which marked the beginning of the overthrow of dictator Slobodan Milosevic, was 71 percent.
3.
A large part of the Serbian diaspora, which lives in functional states, has supported the Student List, which aims to oust former President Aleksandar Vuciq from power.
For this reason, the regime has tried to prevent diaspora participation. In Zurich, people have been waiting before the Serbian consulate for over 7 hours to vote.
In Canada the deployment is open at 2 pm, because the regime has insisted that elections even outside Serbia be held according to Serbia’s clock.

According to claims by the Faculty of Agriculture, located in the blockade (i.e. a faculty protesting against the regime), the deputy chairman of the election commission at a polling station in Despotovac, central Serbia, has eaten two ballot papers.
Other landmark events: there have been beatings, vote buyings, and photographs; 8 percent of the polling has been voted without valid documents; and in 30 percent of the locations, there have been problems with ultraviolet lamps.
The data comes from the nongovernmental CRTA organization.

In one poll, the people waiting in line were ridiculed by Dragan J. Vucicevich, one of the regime’s biggest propagandists and editor of the acicgazeta Informer: They’ve sounded to let him know he’s a horse. Autcrat Aleksandar Vuciq.
6.
Portal of the magazine éVreme ‘% announced in the evening that many people dressed in black clothes, mostly wearing masks, were being gathered in the so – called Caciland country in downtown Belgrade.
More recently, Vuchy assembled his supporters, mainly violent. Fear was great that the regime could provoke violence.
The so-called Student Lists, which challenged Vuciqi in the elections, called on supporters not to gather in places where there is police presence and regime supporters not to fall into Vuciqi’s trap.
7.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has published on the X network a photo showing him eating kebabs and showing that important selections are held in Serbia today.
This post has sparked different interpretations. If the result between the regime and opposition in Serbia is approximately equal, then the Hungarian minority party’s votes will be crucial.
Magyar has had a clash with the Vuciq autocrat, which has been closely linked to Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban.
8.
Voter turnout in the Presevo Valley populated by Albanians seems to be low.
That is to regret, because, if the outcome is narrow, the votes of minority deputies can be crucial.
Suppose the Student Movement has 124 deputies, and two mandates are won by the Albanian coalition — these two votes are determining for government creation.
However, it appears the new opposition will win more than 126 mandates.
9.
Fears that the regime will not accept the election outcome appear groundless, at least for now.
After Vuciq conceded defeat, thousands of Serbs and Serbs took to the streets and squares in Serbia to celebrate the victory.

What happened Sunday in Serbia began on November 1st 2024: that world, in Novi Sad, the country’s second largest city, collapsed the concrete shelter of the main railway station. Sixteen people died.
For many citizens of Serbia it was clear that the regime was guilty of nonprofessional work and these were the consequences, according to critics, corruption and mismanagement.
Power tried to hide the causes of the accident, and this prompted the biggest protest movement in Serbia since Milosevic’s fall.

For 14 years in power, Vucic took an ambitious stance on Kosovo. He participated in the dialogue mediated by Brussels for normalising relations with Kosovo, but opposed its independence, instrumentalising Kosovo Serbs and misusing them for nationalist games in Serbia.
Formally, Vuciqi supported the 2013 Brussels agreement, which enabled the integration of Serbian policemen, judges and structures into Kosovo institutions but never gave up the Kosovo partition project.
The impact in Kosovo was maintained by financing the parallel institutions of the Serb minority, and especially by supporting the Serbian List, established in 2013. This party, more than safeguarding the interests of the Serb minority in Kosovo, was Belgrade’s protracted hand in destabilizing Kosovo.
With the approval of two Kosovo parties ( The PDK and LDK), Vucinciqi secured Kosovo’s pledge to establish an association of Serb municipalities.
He later launched the blueprint for partitioning Kosovo, masquerading as border correction, and as a partner in the offensive, he found Kosovo President Hashim Thaci.
The project failed because of resistance in Kosovo and powerful European states, such as Great Britain and Germany.
In the spring of 2023, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti indirectly agreed, with the Ohrid Agreement, the association of Serb municipalities, but insisted that Serbia sign an agreement meaning the silent acceptance of Kosovo’s citizenship.
Vuciq argued that his hand was hurting and could not sign. The EU said the agreement was valid without signature. A strange Brussels reasoning. Which brought no progress in the reports between the two countries.
In September 2023, Vuciqi made the likely latest bloody and criminal effort to divide Kosovo — 24 September, Milan Radojciqi’s terrorist gang, deputy leader of the Serbian List, attacked Kosovo police in the country’s north.
A Kosovo policeman was killed and several others injured. Kosovo police eliminated three terrorists, while most of them — led by Radojciqi and possibly following Western pressure on Kosovo — were allowed to leave in Serbia’s direction.
Twelve.
The Student List does not have a very different attitude than that of Vuciki as far as Kosovo is concerned. Even this list rejects Kosovo’s independence.
It remains to be seen whether the new government will arrest and bring Milan Radojciqi, who lives at large in Serbia, to trial. But initially the new government will have a lot of work in Serbia.
Vuciqi’s loss is the second good news this year from Eastern Europe: in the spring, power in Hungary lost Victor Orban. Two autocrats are gone. With good feet…

And a great story in number 13 (in superstition): Likely large outside Serbia’s parliament has remained Ivica Dacic, former spokeswoman for Slobodan Milosevic’s Socialist Party of Serbia and chairman of the party.
In the Dacic election campaign, he described himself as a stability actor. He visited Moscow and the foreign ministry spokeswoman and donated traditional Serbian clothing, while Russian top diplomat a box of chess figures.
Dacic also promised that the Serbian flag would wave in Prizren.
It seems that on Sunday the flag of his party took him with him forever and with the hope of many people in the Balkans never turning into politics.
