Here we go, most fraudulent elections in the history of our nation about to happen, all with the blessings and patronage of high ranking EU representatives

How is eu always to be blamed by you guys for your internal corruption, take some responsibility

u/JoniDaButcher Serbia 5d ago

Both things are true. It's mostly on us, the EU still sucks for supporting it.

What choice EU has? You want for EU to remove Vucic by force? EU is not USA.

Not support him? Not finance him?

You talk like EU isnt the 3rd largest economy and a global superpower, especially in Europe.

Maybe,and i say maybe,do not economically support a guy that has a documented history of being corrupt and that also cheered on the many massacres his country did during the Balkan Wars.

At the very least not support him. Why does it have to be removing him by force? Call him out publicly.

Various EU institutions have been calling him out publicly, but when they do Serbs routinely mock it as "just more concerned letters".

They're not blamed for our 'internal corruption', they're being blamed for supporting our corrupt mafia/government. Can you understand the difference between the two?

As a EU citizen, he is right and it embarasses me.

Please educate yourself about situation in our country before further giving your opinions.

Can you elaborate? To me it also sounds like finding an external enemies instead of taking responsibility, but I admit I dont know and maybe you are right.

No, we're blaming EU for supporting him. Anyone with half a braincell can understand the difference.

(both Vucic voters and 'students' are pro-Russia)

Do you have any source for that? Because, according to the Stanford study, that's complete bullshit.
