In its diplomatic rhetoric, China often uses intimate terms to describe the countries with which China has the closest relations, such as "iron-clad friends" or "iron buddies", including Belarus, Cambodia and Serbia.
Just recently, on the 17th, the Serbian parliamentary elections ended, and Serbian Vučić happily announced that the coalition he led had won. This result not only shows Vučić's strong performance, but also provides a stronger guarantee for China-Cyprus friendly relations.
In fact, there was a parliamentary election in Serbia last year, when Vučić's coalition narrowly missed a majority of seats, allowing him to be re-elected**.
However, despite the victory, the failure of his coalition to secure more than half of the 250 seats in parliament has left him likely limited in the face of other parties joining forces. This unfavorable situation was supposed to last until 2026, according to the rules of the Serbian parliamentary elections every four years, but the situation changed in May this year.
During the month, there were two serious incidents in Serbia that resulted in significant incidents in which at least 19 people lost their lives. The opposition took the opportunity to start**, accusing Vučić** of mismanagement and demanding a new parliamentary election.
At first, Vučić was going to go toe-to-toe, and the opposition was campaigning for months. There were even rumors that the West was planning to promote a color revolution in Serbia. Faced with the protracted situation, Vučić did not hesitate to dissolve parliament more than a month ago and announce the re-election of elections.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to re-electing. On the bright side, it can satisfy the demands of the opposition, prevent them from continuing, promote stability in Serbian society, and strengthen Vučić's grip on state power. On the downside, if the election is lost, Vučić** will have to cede some power to the opposition, and Vučić himself may face a challenge from the opposition. However, Vučić's courage to re-elect shows that he is confident of victory, and this possibility has also been confirmed in opinion polls in Serbia.
In the run-up to the elections, Serbia** conducted a round of polls on the support of its various parties and coalitions. The results showed that Serbia must not stop topped the list with 40 percent support, 14 percentage points higher than the second-placed opposition coalition Serbia Against Violence, and none of the other parties in the race had more than 10 percent support. In other words, Vučić has a chance to win, but the magnitude of the victory is different. As it turned out, Vučić won a landslide.
On the 17th, Serbia set up more than 8,200 polling stations around the world, and more than 6.5 million Serbian citizens participated in the vote. According to the data released by our country in October this year, the total population of Serbia is 66470,000 (excluding Kosovo) and a turnout of 977%。
With almost the entire country voting, Vučić's final victory could have been made before the results were announced. When the count of votes reached 76 percent, Vučić declared that "Serbia cannot stop" and won a landslide victory. According to him, the league will be able to secure at least 127 seats, which is an absolute advantage.
The 127 seats are positive in two ways. On the one hand, it has already exceeded half of the total number of seats, which means that the coalition of parties led by Vučić has the ability to form independently**, thus strengthening Vučić's power.
On the other hand, it helped Vučić to be more forceful in rectifying the opposition. As mentioned earlier, the vast majority of Serbian citizens voted and the 127 seats for Vučić's coalition of parties showed that the majority of Serbs supported them. This will make it easier for Vučić to reorganize the opposition and formulate and implement relevant policies.
However, a win doesn't mean Vučić can sit back and relax right now. There were accusations of "irregularities" in the elections and so-called "evidence" that "illegal voters in Bosnia and Herzegovina were suspected of casting their ballots at an unofficial polling station in the Serbian capital."
Serbian Prime Minister Brnabizi refuted this claim, calling it a deliberate attempt to create chaos. Therefore, Vučić must take action to defend the election results before he can take the next step.
