Political changes in Serbia and Israel

Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia, after which President Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat. Victory went to the 'Student List' movement, represented by the country's students. Bojan Vranich, a professor of political science at the University of Belgrade, and Radomir Sajčić, a representative of the movement, discussed the significance of this victory, the movement's readiness to govern the country, and possible candidates for prime minister. The program also covered the consequences of the results for Serbia's EU accession ambitions and its relations with Russia. In Israel, the country is preparing for crucial elections, against the backdrop of which former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert commented on Benjamin Netanyahu's political future after three years of war. In Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the presidential election, receiving just under 52% of the vote and defeating the right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, who refused to accept the results.
