Vučić planned a coup after losing the elections, he was reportedly talked out of it

Aleksandar Vučić, the Serbian leader, initially planned to maintain power through violence after electoral defeat but was deterred by European officials and Viktor Orbán. Following the opposition's significant lead in the elections, Vučić deployed police and hired thugs to protect his regime. Reports indicated he intended to contest the election results but ultimately conceded defeat shortly after polls closed. The opposition coalition secured a majority in parliament, while Vučić's party suffered a significant loss. The situation reflects a shift in power dynamics in Serbia, influenced by external pressures.
