How fantastic to see democracy alive in Serbia! The Serbian Student List victory in Sunday’s snap election quickly saw 12-year strongman, pro-Russian nationalist Aleksandar Vučić concede. This comes after he allowed convicted genocidal war criminal Ratko Mladić a hero’s funeral last month. Like in 2000 when Serbian student protest movement Otpor defeated wartime leader Slobodan Milošević, young people have come out again to determine their future. And in Brazil too. In both countries, the defeated candidates were Trump favourites.
