There is Aleksandar Vučić, who is valued by Western visitors as a „guarantor of stability“ and praised for reforms. And there is the Serbian president who is returning to his ultra-nationalist roots, as he is doing now in the election campaign. Vučić called the early parliamentary elections in Serbia on Sunday to consolidate his power after mass protests over school shootings that left 19 people dead. It is also a diversionary tactic in the face of pressure from the international community to finally move forward with normalization with Kosovo.
