Balancing between East and West gained a new dimension during the unexpected visit of Aleksandar Vučić to Ukraine.

President Aleksandar Vučić said that elections in Serbia will not be held before the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027, while students gathered around university blockades say that the time for extraordinary elections is now.

When the owner of an illegal television station calls independent journalists "fascists" in a live broadcast, it's not just a question of ethics — it's also a question of law.
