As @sandrogozi , EDP Secretary-General, stated today, President Vučić must not believe Serbia’s European future can be rescued by another cosmetic exercise. Correcting judicial laws that should never have been adopted is not a victory: it is only a partial repair of the damage caused by the same captured system. Serbia needs real electoral reform, media freedom, judicial independence and a clear separation between party and State. No shortcuts. No democratic discount. No reward for repairing damage that should never have been inflicted. Europe stands with the Serbian people, students and democratic forces demanding accountability and freedom. Serbia deserves Europe — but Vučić cannot lead it there while preserving a system that contradicts Europe’s fundamental values.
Announcing to give up the position of President, to plot a strategy to remain in power as long as possible. One way or the other. That is what this classic autocrats playbook move is about.
Let’s keep our eyes on the ball.
