In a press briefing on Monday, the Kremlin expressed concern over perceived attempts by external actors to incite unrest in Serbia following the recent snap general and local elections. Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Serbia over the weekend, contesting the election results.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that internal legislation, electoral bodies, and observers had not reported any violations undermining the elections' legitimacy. However, he pointed to ongoing efforts by third parties, including foreign entities, to provoke similar disturbances in Belgrade.
Peskov assured that Moscow trusts the Serbian government to uphold the rule of law, underscoring that events in Serbia are internal affairs, and Russia refrains from interference. He highlighted the shared historical and cultural ties between Russia and Serbia, emphasizing the careful handling and high value placed on their relationship.
President Aleksandar Vucic addressed the nation, denying the presence of a "color revolution" and pledging to resolve the situation peacefully without causing harm to demonstrators. The preliminary election results for the Belgrade City Assembly showed the ruling Serbian Progressive Party securing 49 seats with 39.34% of the vote, while the opposition Serbia Against Violence coalition won 42 seats with 34.27% of the vote.
