What Vucic’s defeat means for Serbia’s foreign policy

The Student List’s historic victory in Sunday’s election ends 14 years of political dominance by Aleksandar Vucic and his Serbian Progressive Party. As Serbia prepares for a turbulent transition and a presidential election in December, a rapid shift in foreign policy appears unlikely. Aleksandar Popov, director of the Centre for Regionalism in Novi Sad, said the new authorities must first address domestic issues, including restoring democratic institutions and tackling problems in the judiciary, police and media, before improving relations with neighbouring countries.
