Serbia’s Election Results Explained: Vucic Wins (Again) 

As a non-native speaker I must give compliment to this guy, as he's the easiest to understand. Perfectly clear voice and articulation.

Never boycott elections. All you do is say loud and proud that you give the vote to your opponent.

Zack conversational presentation is very pleasant, when compared to Ben and Jack's more shouty approaches, bless their hearts.

This new narrator is doing a great job 👏 Much respect and thank you for another year of great work in the field of journalism 🧡

I love the new guy, his quite yet articulate manner of explaining current events really hooked me up to him!

As a Serbian man who is into politics, I am really fascinated how well you are informed.

6:44 just to clarify this, these are people with right to vote, with dual citizenship. They just don't live in Belgrade so they shouldnt vote on municipal elections.

Pleasantly surprised he's not called VUKIK by the host.

You did great job this time, slow and moderated, miss my blu eyes guy but its good to see another handsome guy hosting tldr

I feel if you like to switching commentators, you should also record the tldr intro, and commercial, for the new voice, to feel more natural.

The December 17 early elections in Serbia were dominated by the decisive involvement of the President which, together with the ruling party’s systemic advantages, created unjust conditions, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) election observation mission told a media conference on Monday.

Honest critique, Zack needs to work on his cadence and tone somewhat, but overall he has a more down to Earth delivery, and his deeper voice suits the program well. I'd like to see more of him in the future.

As a Serbian love to see a western based media report on it!

The international observers were united in that there were massive irregularities such as vote buying, forcing government workers and welfare users to vote, bussing in voters from all over with fictitious addresses so they can vote in the local Belgrade elections as well, etc ... All this while Vucic and SNS had over 90% of media space.

It is a little bit simplified what you said. But in essence you are right. The so called right wing NADA (led by Law Faculty professor Miloš Jovanovic who was educated in Paris) is not at all that ,,extreme" as you put it, nor it is for Russia. It is for Serbia. And it is against EU and USA interference in Serbia's inner political life.

I love this guy's hand movements and pronounciation. Hope we see him in more videos.

Wow! I'm honestly surprised how amazingly good this video is and factually correct, well done guys, keep it up!

Very objective and precise reporting on the situation, thank you.

Finally a presenter that acts like he's narrating a news/political segment rather than doing a bad impression of an over-eager BBC documentary presenter.

"Media freedom" "Ban on tabloid media" Lmao, what a movement, totally sensible.

I like the new narrator. Calm and fast info.

I don't think the problem is that he won. I think the problem is that we don't have anyone to replace him with.

Hi, Zach! Looking good as always!

When am I going to get my copy of Too Long? I pre-ordered the Editor's Edition.

**Shocker**

Thing is that nobody can form Belgrade and we will probably have repeated election here because nobody has majority together because 5th coalition doesn't want to cooperate with anyone

You didnt mention Branimir Nestorović

Nice with a new face with such a slow, clear voice. Well, new to me.

I like your manner of narration, hope you'll do this more often

Thank you

love this new guy and his calm narrating style

What a great new presenter. Sorry, but I really am tired of the shouting loud news presenters approach. Why can’t the presenters sound like a normal human being? Srsly. Do the talk to their families that loud way? I highly doubt it.

Great narrator, good job.

Wow excellent narration-huge upgrade from the usual, which is almost unwatchable. Consider making this a more permanent switch?! 🤞🏼

I am from Serbia. This was "elections", not elections.

damn

Always nice to hear Papi Zac's voice and see his face.

Vucic is pro EU so I don't think there will be any comments from that side ;-)

Marketing a safety razor as some revolutionary sustainable invention is so bizarre to me since they've been around for hundreds of years.

Finally a good narrator, not the screeching kid that was before

Right wing conspiracy theorists entered the Parliament💪💪💪

I know this is TLDR but not nearly enough information was presented regarding the way the election was infleuenced. I hope another video covers that and the international reactions to the unfairness in these elections

he said more about razor blades than elections 😂😂😂

Grim. It's always grim.

Serbia is being told to accept the reality that a part of its territory should be made into a separate country, by the same group of nations who deny the very same right to the Serbs who live in Bosnia and Croatia. In Bosnia Serbs even, de facto and de jure by the international law, have a republic within a republic, which is a step that is one level above what Albanians have had in Kosovo. So why is it that sovereignty and territorial integrity are sacred, when it comes to Serbs desiring to separate from other countries, but for some reason Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity are irrelevant when it comes to a national minority wanting to separate from Serbia? Also one small addendum to the point about self determination and decolonization; even if we were to apply these principles to Kosovo, which is not an outlandish proposition despite the fact that Kosovo is not in Africa, there is one key important thing that makes Kosovo different to both former colonies in Africa AND Kurds in Kurdistan: Kosovo is inhabited by ethnic Albanians. People who already have a free and sovereign nation state called Albania. This UN principle literally doesn't apply to them in any way shape or form. The only way to avoid the feeling of resentment and hypocrisy is to stop promoting double standards. Pick one principle - either soverignity and territorial integrity - OR absolute right to self determination and apply it everywhere all at once. So if Kosovo has the right to separate, automatically, so do the Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia. But now this mess that you people (Westerners) have made is even bigger. Because guess what? Russians are also looking at what youre doing. And making a completely logical argument based on that. If Kosovo can, so can Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhie, Kherson, Kharkov, Sumy, Chernigov etc etc etc. Lets see where this brave new world takes us!

Great narrator, you are doing a great job❤!

Interesting developments.

This is a tragedy for our country.

Love the new narrator

all your presenters are excellent, just wanted to say this guy is also great. I like the calmness ty tldr for a lot of great reporting this year

TLDR presenters' enthusiasm for advertisers' products is regrettable.

🎉🎉🎉thanks🎉🎉🎉

Are you going to upload a video about Germany's new immigration scheme. I think it would be a big hit

Belarus is a local example of what is possible in this part of the world. The president can see what is possible for him and the people can see what their future could look like. No free voting public votes for the same person for 19 years. That is not human behavior.

20% accurate as usual, Mortyy..

"Demand media freedom, ban on tabloid media" Are they truly calling for both of those? Because that's pretty contradictory.

🎉 Bravo 👏 for yusrbijo

a girl from Belgrade here to say excellent job :)

Did you really say tensions began in 2022

Yet again TLDR very confusing, the inflation chart, and you said inflation reached "8%" in November but then the chart says over "15%!!!" Do you mean inflation fell to a still-high of 8% in November? You can't say something "reached..." unless that thing is still going up?

Finally, the shouting has stopped. Love the new guy

"Wins" ftfy needed speech marks as there are questions. Many questions.

Much better presentation style. Some people just have a knack for it, some don't. This guy does.

Were's video about Polish election?

Múdrosť vyhrala Držím vám ✊️✊️

How do media freedom and a ban on tabloids co-exist?

Thought I would fall asleep

This guy is great, also to my suprise even tho these news are from EU they aren't to harash on Serbia or SNS.

imagine using Freedom House, Israel is super free and cool right?

Serbia against violence is actually reserve Vucic party, in case of victory of conservative opposition like Nada za Srbiju (Hope for Serbia) or Mi - glas iz naroda (We - vote from people) somehow manage to united. You se coalition of DSS-POKS is called Nada because Nada means Hope, so you should pronounce it, not spelling it. Anyway, they have very good policy of political neutrality, cooperation with EU on Switzerland model, returning Serbian King on the throne, etc. And yes they are telling the truth that EU is forcing independence of Kosovo (main reason why they are not for EU integration).

Wrong Map of Serbia!!! 🇷🇸

А где смо ту МИ ?

There is a reason why people usually take more time to explain such a complex political situation... I cannot say I am surprised, but you failed to explain.

From every video, people living in the Balkans can conclude 1 of 2 things: 1. The Western World has no idea what the problems actually are. 2. The Western World knows exactly what the problems are, and for malicious reasons, makes sure these problems are never resolved by supporting certain parties during certain periods.

Ha, voting? Is that what we call it these days?

Finally

Wage inceases to 1400EUR/avg??? Where did you get that info, it's not accurate it's 758$ not even close to that.

Presenting Nestorović who led the MI movement simply just as a yt conspiracy theorist is highly misleading. At the wake of covid pandemic he (being a renowned pulmonologist) was one of the main consultants for the government. I leave the viewers to do the rest of the research on their own

Hi :)

Belgrade is the most liberal city in Serbia? Wait, what? Try to compare it to the Novi Sad.

And are you sure the opposition leader would oppose Kosovo independence?

I am from Serbia and I have to say very objective reporing. 👏👏👏

1.Alexandr Vucic 2.Ilham Aliyev 3. Victor Orban 4.Erdogan 5. Edi Rama

Did you really called the university professor and doctor youtube conspiracy theorist 🤦‍♂️

Serbs from Republic of Srpska are not the problem for voting for parlament, even though they could vote at home for that. The problem is voting for Belgrade elections, since you cant vote for a city where you dont live. And they brought them to Belgrade so they could win the elections in the capital city.

All 4 options suck. We're doomed. 1 and 3 are corrupt. 2 and 4 are delusional.

Nothing to clarify here, a dictator rules.

He did not win - he scamed us.

Thank you for a very objective reporting on these problematic elections in Serbia. I would like to add for 6:43 that they do have the right to vote in parliamentary elections, which they can do in Republika Srpska. The only reason they were found in Belgrade on the election day is to vote on the municipal elections known as Belgrade elections. For these elections, most of them got the right to vote illegally in the past year from the MUP of Serbia (Ministry of Internal Affairs) that quite often works for the benefit of current regime, not its citizens.

Serbians are native in North Kosovo

I have never been so warmly welcomed anywhere as in Serbia. As a foreign citizen, they allowed me to vote and even take a few selfies while inserting the ballot. What a wonderful country.

Yes, refering to tolerance in inches in sponsored segment for the channel targeted at EU was indeed a very useful info. /s

ahhh those little russians with mini putin... so cute.

I don't know nearly enough to determine the accuracy of this reporting, so I'm reluctant to "like". You get this comment instead.

What happened to the other guys

Every country gets the leader it deserves.

❤

New guy is mmeh

Observers claim diffrent along with evidence extremely corrupted

The worst government since the fall of Yugoslavia. Prices of everything all time high. Media control where Vucic's lap dogs talk about salary increases but they fail to talk about the inflations that come with salary increases. They bring in foreign companies and ignore domestic small size companies. They ignore agricultural needs, any governmental job can only be given to a person if they become a member of SNS which also forces these people to vote otherwise they will lose their jobs. My salary is above average however i work as a freelancer for foreign companies but I cannot even save money for a better car and i can only dream about building a new house. I basically live from salary to salary and i can't even imagine what it's like for people at the bottom. Everything i spend my money on is to be able survive not thrive. SNS brings foreign companies talks about unemployment rate being at an all time low, but these workers vote for them and seemingly in ignorance as if they are thankful to be able to work only because the government brought these companies to Serbia. These workers however are paid "Serbian" salaries which are still around 600-700 euros. To all people who are not from Serbia, imagine this. You get 700 euros..your bills are around 150 and you need at least 350 euros for your food basket on a monthly basis. Where are occasional new clothes? A car downpayment? A trip somewhere? Extra money for your kids? Tons of other stuff you may need the money for.. Around 80% live from salary to salary, scraping by. People 25-35 married or not - most live with their parents and can't do much in terms of finances without the help of their parents. People in Belgrade live better most have good cars and live in well stocked apartments but that's where all companies are, like 90% of foreign companies. This government doesn't care about other cities. All people just go to Belgrade searching for a better life. The number of parked cars on the streets is insane, traffic jams, pollution, nobody solving parking spots. Serbia has 6mil people and around 1.7mil live in Belgrade. Very disproportionate number. 13 years they ruled in tyranny over this country and it's still bad. My fridge is still not stocked and i fall behind my bills at times.
