Currently, autocrats around the world are seeking inspiration from Serbia, where electoral fraud and manipulation have contributed to strengthening President Vučić’s right-wing populist party in the parliamentary and local elections in December.
However, this is not the whole story.
Thousands of Serbs have demonstrated against the undemocratic election in recent months. Opposition politicians went on hunger strikes, student movements set up roadblocks, and activists stormed the city hall in Belgrade.
