Odd that right-wingers in other countries just concede when they lose elections. They don’t try to foment an insurrection to overturn the results
Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s longtime nationalist strongman, conceded defeat Sunday in a general election held after his once-tight grip on power was weakened by nearly two years of student-led protests. nyti.ms/4zegOaY

In yesterday’s deserved euphoria over Vucic’s defeat and Lula’s knife-edge re-election, no one noticed that Bulgaria held presidential elections. The pro-Russian incumbent underperformed and the pro-EU challenger beat the polls but turnout was a paltry 20%. Impossible to guess how the runoff will go

Wonderful to see that Alexander Vucic's semi-authoritarian and utterly corrupt regime lost the elections in Serbia.
Congratulations, Serbia!
This election will turn Serbia away from Russia and toward the EU.
