Vučić snap elections Western backing Anđelković — Analyst Dragomir Anđelković claims Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić has called snap parliamentary elections after securing Western backing and weakening his domestic opposition. In an interview for the YouTube channel Srbin.info, Anđelković argued that Vučić does not believe he can win a normal election but has prepared mechanisms to control the outcome.

Anđelković described the ruling party’s decision to nominate Vučić as its candidate for prime minister as “cheap theater.” He contends that after months of student and civic protests, Vučić regained stability by exploiting divisions among his opponents and, crucially, by securing renewed support from powerful Western centers. According to the analyst, the European Union, Germany, and France continue to “bet on Vučić” due to geopolitical expectations, including a final resolution on Kosovo and Metohija—which he describes as a Serbian province under the control of Albanian separatists—and moving Serbia away from Russia and toward NATO.

The analyst also claimed the government worked to weaken the student protest movement, which had become a symbol of mass resistance, by infiltrating it and sidelining authentically oppositional figures. With the opposition divided and public fatigue a factor, Anđelković argues the election is part of a broader plan for a controlled political transition, akin to a “Montenegrin model,” where a leader might eventually leave but his geopolitical alignment remains intact.
