Latest poll: 44% for the student list, 32% for Vučić-led block.

The regime lost majority despite almost total control of the media and the misuse of all the public resources to discredit, repress, intimidate and silence critics.

The spin dictator is out of ammo!

Vučić now calls student protestors “satanists” obviously in an attempt to pit them against the religious people. The regime seems to be running out of labels to discredit the movement, as all the others have worn out: terrorists, foreign agents, self-haters, traitors etc vreme.com/vesti/vucic-...

If you want an update on the protests in Serbia, listen to Lazar Popović (student), Irena Joveva (MEP), and me in a panel organised by the Henry Jackson Society on 26 August. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9k0...

It’s high time indeed! archive.ph/2025.08.18-1...

I just wonder how long the EU and its leaders will continue to - openly or not - support the kleptocratic regime in Serbia, which is the key source of anti-Western sentiment in this country.

Regime-driven disinformation level up! Ana Brnabić, the speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, now propels a conspiracy theory that the canopy in Novi Sad killing 16 people was a “diversion” organized to start a “color revolution”.

Surprise, surprise! The Russian MFA endorses the Vučić regime’s police brutality against pro-democracy protesters. mid.ru/en/foreign_p...

Vučić is going full Lukashenko as his regime escalates violence and repression against pro-democracy protesters. Serbia is rapidly descending into the abyss of a naked dictatorship of fear. balkaninsight.com/2025/08/15/s...

But wait! There's more. @filipejdus.bsky.social and Marina Vulovic explore how a proposed land swap between Serbia and Kosovo resulted in the recovery of Helen of Anjou's heritage to construct Northern Kosovo as a space of Serbian heritage and attachment

If elections were held now in Serbia, students and the opposition would win by a landslide (+12%) according to the latest poll. To win, Vučić would have to go beyond irregular and unfair practices into the realm of unfree and stolen elections. www.danas.rs/vesti/politi...

That’s a wrap!
A full house today at our joint conference w/ @reunir.bsky.social in 🇷🇸 — featuring the launch of the GEO-POWER-EU Interdependence Database (shorturl.at/cYbbJ) & insights from both projects! Thank you to all speakers, participants & partners for a great event! @horizoneu.bsky.social

M. Delević, Director at European Bank for Reconstruction and Development,emphasized in her closing remarks:
“After the war in Ukraine, things changed, enlargement gained new momentum and became more geopolitical and we were all reminded that the core purpose of🇪🇺integration is #peace and #stability.”

Constellation of consortia met yesterday in Belgrade to discuss the role of the EU in the Western Balkans in the Eastern Neighbourhood. @GEOPOWER_EU @REUNIR_Horizon #InvigorateEU @HorizonEU

It was a pleasure to host this important meeting ! @bezbednost_org @FPN_Beograd

We are at the Europe House🇷🇸for our joint conference w/ @reunir.bsky.social!
@filipejdus.bsky.social opened the event by noting 🇷🇸 is at a crossroads after 6+ months of political crisis, emphasizing that if #EU🇪🇺 enlargement struggles in the Union's immediate neighborhood, it may struggle elsewhere too

If the enlargement of #EU fails in its immediate neighbourhood, its actorness and influence in the world will be in the question. @filipejdus.bsky.social at the opening of @geopower-eu.bsky.social conference in Belgrade
