Vucic's defeat does not necessarily mean a geopolitical realignment for Serbia.
As I told @Newsweek, foreign actors largely remained passive during the elections because either outcome would have served their interests. ⬇️

"SWEDEN IS BACK"
Sweden's former and future Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, gave an interview to Politico on the day of her election victory.
Notably, Magdalena Andersson attended the #Bilderberg Conference in 2016 while serving as Sweden's Finance Minister (see below). She subsequently participated in the 2024 and 2025 meetings in her capacity as Leader of the Opposition.
Politico is part of the German media group Axel Springer SE, whose Chairman and CEO, Mathias Döpfner, is a member of the Bilderberg Meetings Steering Committee.
‘SWEDEN IS BACK’: MAGDALENA ANDERSSON HAS BIG PLANS FOR EUROPE
In an interview with POLITICO, Sweden’s election winner reveals her unfinished business with Russia, Trump — and the far right.
STOCKHOLM — After four years in opposition, Sweden’s former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson is about to retake power — and she aims to use it to fortify Europe’s place in an unstable world.
Andersson is in the middle of coalition talks as she prepares for a second stint as prime minister at the head of a left-leaning government, after winning a tight election against the right and far-right earlier this month.
In an exclusive interview with POLITICO conducted on election day, the Social Democrat leader set out her mission to refocus Swedish foreign policy — and to give the EU more muscle.

Pictured below is Magdalena Andersson at the 2023 Bilderberg Conference in Lisbon, alongside Oscar Stenström, who was then Sweden’s chief negotiator for NATO accession. He would later become Director of the Wallenberg Office and organizer of the 2025 Bilderberg Conference in Stockholm.
ULF IS LEAVING, MAGDALENA IS ARRIVING
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (who attended the 2019 #Bilderberg Conference and presided over the opening ceremony of the 2025 Bilderberg Conference) has announced that he will resign following the electoral defeat in the recent general election.
Logically, he will be replaced by the current opposition leader, Magdalena Andersson (who attended the 2016, 2023, and 2025 Bilderberg Conferences).
SWEDISH PM KRISTERSSON RESIGNS AFTER ELECTION LOSS
"Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has resigned after his ruling right-wing bloc was narrowly defeated by the centre-left opposition in the country's general election.
He made the announcement in a post on X on Thursday afternoon, after preliminary votes from Sunday's election showed about 50,000 votes separated the two blocs in the country of about 10 million people.
Opposition parties led by Magdalena Andersson of the Social Democrats look set to win 176 seats in the 349-seat Riksdag, Sweden's parliament..."

Non-stop ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv tonight. I pray for the success of Ukraine's air defense and that no innocent lives are harmed. May G-d protect Ukraine. 🇺🇦🙏

We invite you to read this interesting article written by our friend Josh Friedman (who, like us, has been following the activities of the #Bilderberg Group for many years), entitled "Necessity and Innovation in Wartime Ukraine", which is reminiscent of the discussions that have taken place in recent years at the Bilderberg Conferences on the "Future of Warfare".
NECESSITY AND INNOVATION IN WARTIME UKRAINE
"More than four years into Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, battlefield pressures are driving rapid technological change and transforming Ukraine into a military power, from which countries including the United States can learn crucial lessons.
While Ukraine has largely halted Russia’s advance on the battlefield so far this year — and even recaptured territory at times — pain and suffering are still evident around the country, particularly in frontline regions, as well as in cities that get pounded by Russian missiles and drones on a regular basis. Over the past month, as CalCoastNews has visited Ukraine, civilians have been killed in ways ranging from direct missile impact on apartment blocks to targeted drone strikes on pedestrians and vehicles, the latter being part of an ongoing “human safari” in the southeastern city of Kherson..."

As a reminder, Josh Friedman was the only journalist to cover the entire 2022 Bilderberg Conference in Washington, D.C.
He granted us an interview the following year in which he recounted this unique experience. To listen:

Necessity has driven innovation in Ukraine’s warfighting capabilities. U.S. and western officials now have a lot to learn from Ukraine’s progress on the battlefield and in drone warfare.

For the record, the President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, took part in his official capacity at the 72nd #Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel in Washington D.C. from April 9 to 12, 2026.
PRESIDENT OF THE EUROGROUP, KYRIAKOS PIERRAKAKIS, TRAVELS TO FRANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE G7 FINANCE MINISTERS AND CENTRAL BANK GOVERNORS MEETING
Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis will travel to France to participate in the G7 meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors which takes place on 18-19 May in Paris (...).
Speaking ahead of his participation in the meeting, Minister Pierrakakis said:
"The situation in the Middle East highlights just how exposed our interconnected economies are to external shocks. The current economic challenges constitute global challenges. In this context, the G7 finance ministers meeting offers an important opportunity for the European Union to engage in dialogue with its international partners and find joint solutions that benefit the global economy.
Opening the Strait of Hormuz and bringing the conflict to a lasting end are of the utmost importance in mitigating the impact on the economy. The European economy has proven resilient in the face of this energy crisis. Yet, the global economy will feel the pressure – even if the conflict is resolved swiftly.
Global macroeconomic imbalances must be viewed in a broader context. The EU’s agenda to deepen our capital markets and make the European economy more investible will contribute to more sustainable levels of macroeconomic imbalances. However, reducing the imbalances is a shared responsibility of all major economic regions."

U.S. Army Secretary Driscoll: Ukraine's Delta common operating system, their modular open system architecture command and control system, is absolutely incredible.
It fully integrates every single drone, sensor, and shooting platform into just one single network. Ours does not.

EXCLUSIVE: Palantir CEO Alex Karp criticized Germany after a top Berlin official said the country doesn’t plan to award military contracts to the U.S. data analytics giant.

Gestern habe ich mit @PalantirTech-CEO Alex Karp gesprochen. Er wunderte sich über den deutschen Umgang mit seiner Firma, die er mit Peter Thiel gegründet hat und sagte: „Peter und ich sind mit Abstand die prominentesten deutschen und/oder deutschsprachigen Geschäftsleute der Welt (...) Wenn wir Franzosen wären, hätten die Franzosen uns gezwungen, französische Pässe zu haben, nur Französisch zu sprechen und unseren Namen in ‘Falantir’ zu ändern.“ Derweil spreche man in Deutschland über Palantir als ginge es um „Hexerei“.

Some of my followers pointed out that two other Dutch nationals participated in the 72nd Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel in Washington, D.C., from April 9 to 12, 2026, in addition to those mentioned in the post below. These were NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and his Chief of Staff, Geoffrey van Leeuwen.
That's correct, and I thank them for it. However, it's worth noting that they attended the meeting as international guests, not as Dutch citizens.
Both had previously attended the 2025 Bilderberg Conference together in Stockholm (see below).
Before that, Mark Rutte had already participated in 10 such meetings when he was Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

- Roy Jakobs, President and CEO of Royal Philips
- Rolly van Rappard, Co-Founder and Chair of CVC Capital Partners and the Netherlands' representative on the Bilderberg Steering Committee.

Some of my followers rightly pointed out that the selfie of Rob Jetten and Sigrid Kaag couldn't have been taken from the terrace of the Salamander Hotel, but rather from the Ohio Drive Bridge. I thank them for their clarification.
Nevertheless, it was taken during the 72nd Bilderberg Conference.
This gives me the opportunity to specify that this was Ms. Kaag's fifth such meeting.
She attended four Bilderberg Meetings between 2018 and 2024, as Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza.

As a reminder, one of Pilar Gil Miguel's predecessors as CEO of the PRISA Group, Juan Luis Cebrián, participated in 25 #Bilderberg Conferences between 1983 and 2018 and was for many years the Spanish representative on the Bilderberg Steering Committee, before handing the reins to the Executive Chair of Banco Santander, Ana P. Botín.
Banco Santander currently holds a stake of over 4% in PRISA.

The Superstar Award of the 72nd Bilderberg Meeting, held in Washington, D.C., from April 9 to 12, 2026, goes without a doubt to British national Blaise Metreweli, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, also known as MI6), who easily outshone all other participants, with over 1.5 million views on X alone, and hundreds of likes.

Replying to @JasonBassler1
Why do you say it was his “first attendance on record”? Karp has been on Bilderberg’s official participant lists over and over for years and @FreeManReporter has repeatedly photographed and filmed him outside of the meetings.
These are from 2019, 2023, and 2024, for instance:
