Professor: Regime fears losing, delaying elections

Professor Ivan Stanojević of the Faculty of Political Sciences offers a stark assessment of the current political climate in Serbia, suggesting that the government's reluctance to call elections stems from a clear fear of electoral defeat. "The regime has no way to achieve an election victory, they are in a kind of bind," Stanojević stated in an interview with N1. This perspective challenges the government's narrative, implying that their belief that "time is on their side" is a miscalculation, as recent events suggest otherwise. The professor's analysis extends to the significance of student parliamentary elections, highlighting how the government has attempted to "usurp student life" through legislation to control universities. He emphasizes the importance of students fighting for their right to participate in academic governance and resist political interference. Stanojević's call for citizens to exert pressure, whether through planning their summer around potential election dates or by becoming election monitors, underscores a belief in civic action as a means to influence political outcomes. His advice to the opposition to wait for students to "send a signal" positions students as the primary drivers of change, with the opposition playing a secondary role. This viewpoint reflects a deep-seated skepticism towards the ruling regime and a strong belief in the power of organized citizen engagement.
