Great win for democracy. Now the students will have to show that they can do better than Vucic.

This won't be too hard, but there is an economic recession in the whole Euro-zone right now. Overcoming that is a challenge for many countries right now.

Serbia is not the Euro-zone. It's not even in the EU.

Most of Eastern Europe and the Balkans see decent economic growth currently.

Eurozone growth is about 1% this year and projected to be 1.5% next year. Sluggish but far from a recession. This isn't to nitpick or to ignore real, challenging issues but there's a distorted media view on economic growth in Europe.

And a lot of these anti-democratic movements benefit from this purely vibes based information space politics.
