"The first bullet is for you." Was Vuczić ready to use force to stay in power?

On Sunday, Belgrade was heavily policed amid fears of election manipulation by President Vucic. Reports indicated he had plans for violence if election results were close. However, international pressure and warnings from officials led him to accept the Student List's victory. The Student List won 52.54% of the votes, while Vucic's party received 39.29%. This election followed nearly two years of protests against the government, sparked by a tragic incident in 2024 that killed 16 people.
