The best analysis of what’s going on in Serbia right now came out today. A sample:

Under Vučić, the Serbian state has become a vast patronage system in which jobs, ministries and construction contracts are awarded to those with political connections. The ruling party functions as an employment programme for the servile and incompetent. While the protesters are not explicitly calling for regime change, their demands for accountability, if met, would see Vučić sent to jail. An end to impunity implies an end to his reign. The students have been careful to avoid association with Serbia’s official opposition, which is itself tainted by venality and easily smeared by pro-government media. Their aim is not simply to swap one patronage network for another. It is to transform the entire political culture. As one protest sign put it: ‘This is not a revolution but an exorcism.’

Good slogan.
