Will there be elections and when?

The President's fear of the ballot box

When the students came out with a unifying, for some long-awaited demand for extraordinary parliamentary elections, they hit the target. This request is obviously too big a challenge for the progressives, they and their partners don't know what to do with it, which can be seen mostly from their confused statements - like: it can be, but it doesn't have to mean, just take the medicine to my aunt and I'll think about it. The students hit Vučić where it hurts the most, two times in a row: first by claiming that he is an "incompetent institution", and now that he has become a "coward". He must not call elections, which he has been threatening every now and then for 13 years and which he calls when he feels like it, always sure of victory
