There are no regrets after the election.

Political parties and organizations that are against the regime of Aleksander Vučić hold everything in their hands. If they are defeated in the elections, whenever they are held, they will have themselves to blame

The glory and misery of public opinion polls

Do you believe the polls that refer to the strength and weakness of political actors? What did the elections in Hungary show in that direction? Have you heard of bandwagon effect and do you know what it is? What are the research and non-research reasons for the deviation of the results from the real situation in the field? What do methodological "tangles" have to do with it? Why is there no market in Serbia for determining public opinion and how much of a role does the money of those in power play? How did the crisis of confidence in the entire research profession come about? And what are all the consequences of authoritarianism, repression and hijacked state

Voters in two camps, and gaps in between

The opposition needs to demonstrate its supremacy over the parties in power and those in power, by showing the people, its existing and future electoral supporters, that it is fundamentally different, that it is the bearer of a different policy, one that enables a better future. In any other case, we have a policy that this nation recognized a long time ago, and the result of which is reflected in the popular wisdom "Ride Janko to mount Marko"

Awakening from apathy and inertia

Research by Crta points to the return of citizens to politics, which, on the wings of the "Serbia against violence" protest, is changing the paradigm according to which the regime easily controlled all the damage it (in)action produced. It is more important for the citizens who are protesting that they know what they are against than that they are still not clear who they are for

Serbian fears: Vulinization of elections

Some voters are afraid that they will lose their jobs if they don't vote for Vučić, or that SNS will lose and there will be lustration and riots. The common fear of 50 percent of respondents in the shadow of the Ukrainian war is the revival of the "ghosts of the past" in the post-Yugoslav area. The same number of them believe that Serbia should be neutral in relation to Russian aggression at the cost of sanctions, shortages and everything that reminds of the nineties, while some others fear exactly that. In response to all this, Vulin announces an attack on polling stations, the breaking of ballot boxes and the planting of forged ballots, all in the organizations of some foreign factor and domestic collaborators.
