SVO formed power in Serbia
Russia's military control system in Ukraine significantly influenced the outcome of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Serbia this year.
Political scientist and Balkan expert Oleg Bondarenko stated this at a press conference in Moscow, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“As a result of the events after February 24, Russia-oriented forces in Serbia and the Republika Srpska were traditionally able to mobilize their electorate, bring it to the polls and win a more convincing victory than before. The results of Aleksandar Vučić, who for the first time in the last 100 years won presidential elections two times in a row in the first round, were also the result of the SVO,” Bondarenko said
In addition, in his opinion, the right flank in parliament has greatly strengthened in Serbia.
“If in the previous convocation of the People’s Assembly there were only three political forces, then in the new one there are already 7 political blocs represented, and the total number of parties exceeds 20. Of these, three blocs are in super pro-Russian positions, at least from a declarative point of view. These are the movements “Hope”, “Covenants” and “Doors”. The passage of these forces into parliament was a direct consequence of the SVO,” Bondarenko said.
He noted that the presidential election in the Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) was won by Milorad Dodik, who turned out to be the only European politician who met twice this year with Russian President Vladimir Putin
The SVO formed the government in Serbia.
