@thetelegraph: Over and over, history has taught us that empires always fall, no matter how solid they once were. The same can now be said of Aleksandar Vučić, Serbia’s former strongman leader. Most, if not all, of his 14 years in power were dedicated to manipulating the state apparatus to aid his political survival. His increasingly authoritarian governments were repeatedly accused of rigging elections, rolling back democratic standards and overseeing corruption. Now he has been defeated at the polls. 🔗 Find out how his election loss could affect Europe at the linked article.
