Following the elections in Serbia, President Aleksandar Vucic's statements drew attention. Vucic, who accepted the election defeat, addressed voters pleased with the results and warned about developments that could occur in the coming months. Vucic said, 'In six months you will see, no one will be happy and joyful anymore.'

HE SAID THEY WILL NOT OBSTRUCT THE NEW GOVERNMENT
Vucic stated that despite the election defeat, his party would not attempt to prevent a change of power.
Expressing that they would not stand in the way of the formation of a new government, the President of Serbia nevertheless voiced his criticism of the policies the incoming administration would pursue.
WARNING ABOUT SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA
One of the prominent points in Vucic's statements was Serbia's relations with Russia. Claiming that the new administration would soon begin implementing sanctions against Russia, Vucic argued that this would lead to a significant change in the country's current foreign policy.
Arguing that the foreign policy line Serbia has followed to date would be reversed by the new government, Vucic expressed the view that the election results would affect not only domestic politics but also the country's international relations.
HE ACCEPTED ELECTION DEFEAT, RESULTS CELEBRATED
In the early parliamentary elections held in Serbia on October 25, the list supported by the student movement came first according to initial results.
In his statement on election night, Vucic accepted defeat and said the student list would win 135 to 140 seats in the 250-seat parliament, while his own alliance would win about 105 MPs.
Following the statement, celebrations were held in many cities, especially the capital Belgrade. Students and opposition supporters took to the streets to celebrate the election results.
However, Vucic's remarks about six months later became one of the most striking statements of election night. Warning about the steps the new government would take in foreign policy, Vucic argued that those celebrating the election results would not experience the same happiness in the period ahead.
