The Serbian opposition is asking for help from the EU, and the Russians are leaving the country to save themselves from mobilization.
The coalition "Serbia against violence" took the battle against election violence to the European institutions, and that's why the hunger strike was worth it, says MP Marinika Tepic. In Labyrinth, she emotionally talks about the price the whole family pays for her fight against crime and corruption. We also discuss the Belgrade-Prishtina dialogue, for which she does not expect a solution while Aleksandar Vucic is in power, because she believes that he is one of the instigators of the problem and cannot be part of the solution. Regarding the issue of sanctions against Russia, Tepic says that Serbia has European aspirations and as such should align its foreign policy with EU’s.
The journalist and researcher, Vladislav Ivanets, who does not return to Russia to avoid mobilization, is also a guest in Labyrinth. He says that civil society does not support the invasion of Ukraine, and anyone who dares to say so risks many years in prison. Independent media works only from exile. Due to Putin's draconian laws that have been phased in since 2012 (the Foreign Agents Act), Ivanets says that anyone in Russia can be prosecuted. As for the upcoming elections, it is certain that Putin will win because anti-war candidates have been eliminated from the race. Regarding Putin's last interview, he believes that it did him no favors in front of the domestic public.

Analysis of the first 100 days of Trump's rule - How to achieve fair elections in Serbia
Reporting by Jalyssa Dugrot from the USA and an interview with the leader of the New Democratic Party, Miloš Jovanović.
It's been 100 days since Trump took office, and he's already facing protests across America. Increased tariffs on a wide range of countries, controversial immigration policies and an inability to end the war in Ukraine are some of the policies that have marked the first 100 days of Trump's presidency. Tariffs on neighboring Canada have brought down Trudeau's government, and Canadians have elected former Federal Reserve Governor Mark Carney as their new prime minister to deal with the economic crisis. We talk to Florida-based reporter Jalyssa Dugrot about these topics.
In this episode, we also share an interview with the leader of the New Democratic Party of Serbia, Miloš Jovanović, which we conducted at the protests in Niš. Jovanović is also a member of the Serbian Parliament and a supporter of the protests. We discussed the current situation in Serbia, possible solutions for how to achieve fair elections, and potential coalitions in the next election cycle.
