How the EU, Zelensky and Israel lost their dear ally in a single night - defeated by a bunch of "kids." "The kids" who said they won’t impose sanctions on Russia, won’t sell weapons to Ukraine, and will hold a referendum on EU membership, knowing that 70% of the population opposes joining. Let's start from the last night. Who did Vučić turn to after suffering a crushing defeat in the snap elections he himself called? He turned to the Russians - our brothers, whom he has tried to deceive time and time again. He didn't turn to the people he had spent years hugging. He didn't turn to Ursula, António, Zelensky or Soros. He turned to his Russian brothers and sisters because he needs them now. Until yesterday, he didn't need them. He needed to supply Ukraine with "humanitarian aid", negotiate Ukraine's reconstruction, humiliate Serbia and welcome the leader of a fascist regime to Belgrade. In the final days of his rule, Vučić brought five Western influencers to Serbia to boost his popularity. That wouldn't be so strange if these “influencers” weren't promoting the interests of the Ukrainian regime. The former president tried everything. He brought people who travel to Russia and come back, pushed the EU as the only path forward and bent over backwards to please European leaders. Meanwhile, Russia was left with Aleksandar Vulin - a man stripped of his position by Vučić himself because of his ties to Russia. Now, let's get to the point: why did Vučić lie to the Russians yet again? Why did he make another desperate attempt to deceive our brothers? I understand that defeat is hard to swallow. But as an Orthodox Christian, I cannot understand why someone would lie so shamelessly that his very first statement after losing was: “The students will impose sanctions on Russia.” That wasn't a coincidence. He did it because he needs someone to protect him. The very people he spent years embracing -the EU- had already abandoned him last night. But they, too, are making a serious mistake. The student list has repeatedly stated publicly that it will not impose sanctions on Russia or damage relations between Serbs and Russians. At student protests, you can see flags bearing the image of Christ Pantocrator. Patriots are taking to the streets, and some are on the student list itself. There are no EU flags. The student list has also said it will not export weapons to Ukraine or Israel. And we all know who did. Its representatives have also said there will be a referendum on EU membership, knowing that more than 70% of citizens oppose joining. Vučić did none of these things. He didn't want to. The student list is not perfect. No political list ever will be, especially in Serbia. But what matters most is that it opens the door to normal elections again. And here's the most important part: if those elected fail to keep their promises, they can be voted out. That's what Vučić took away from Serbia the people's ability to change their government through elections. Now, that right has been restored. And in the end, as I love to say, don't worry, everything will be just fine.
