    I see the same spirit throughout Europe, I hope for similar outcomes - Albania, France, Italy, Hungary. Past regime has been breeding xenophobia, as it suits authoritarian regimes, I hope to see more celebration of similarities between people rather than pointing out differences.

      Thanks for that

      Here in Austria (and looking over to Germany) it doesn’t look really good…nice when not all falls apart

        IMO, whenever things get tough, people first reach for the extreme - right or left, then only after that fails (and it can fail spectacularly), they look for smart-looking folks. Serbia has only been a bit quick to fail with extreme - in this case - the extreme populist. This is just my oversimplified opinion, the truth is far more complex - but Serbia has clearly had enough.
