What does this do for polling? They reversed a position so presumably they showed no backbone? Or they showed good judgement in changing their position?
Vućić (the president) is presenting himself as the only possible savior of the nation. It’s an emotional play, actual steps taken are less relevant than being in the news as taking some kind of action. His voters fall for it and he knows it. He’s not going to swing anyone new to his side, but motivate existing supporters to go out and vote.
The only major news network that isn’t government affiliated is a CNN affiliate. All that comes through to the target audience is that he made NATO mad.
Fuckin better
They just announced elections in December, it’s all play pretend.
So much this. Sadly it’s the old people who fall for this kind of crap. It’s just a PR campaign.
The last time everyone thought it was play pretend, it didn’t end up so well.
The last time was March this year, dude.
They’re playing a dangerous game

Sorry I’m not familiar with the issue at hand.
