This is extremely good news. I know quite a few people in Serbia and elsewhere of Serbian extraction and this is going to make them so happy. Hungary showed the way, though in Serbia they were fighting at least as hard.

As an aside, I've been seeing "extraction" used more instead of "descent" or "heritage" lately. Is there any reason you adopted that terminology?

It is glorious. Moscow backed Vučić and lost anyway, due to their combined track record.

Who will they blame it on this time? Maybe those of us in previously forced "Soviet Bloc" countries can now be allowed to have agency, to leave Moscow's influence if we choose to?

This is the problem for Moscow, now what they have openly asked Washington for help. The entire Moscow imperialist mirage is collapsing. There is no one else to blame now. In fact, forget Moscow, it's not a factor. It's just that none of us can deal with pure corruption and still run a great economy. That's why so many super smart Russians escape the country/low-trust environment.
