Serbia's Ballot Boxes and Street Rule
Serbia is preparing to hold early parliamentary elections on October 25, 2026, amid long-standing political and social crises following the events of the Novi Sad train station collapse in November 2024. This incident sparked widespread protests and a legitimacy crisis regarding the election results. The country's political environment is characterized by a deep divide between those who believe in the legitimacy of democratic institutions and those who think that social media and popular practices have become more influential on election outcomes and political developments. This increases the risk of parallel legitimacy disputes emerging. The election results could lead to a new political landscape, either through fair processes or further unrest, especially given the declining trust in institutions and the rising reliance on alternative information circulated via social media.
