Image horizontale au format réseaux sociaux, à dominante bleu foncé sur les bords. En haut à gauche, une icône représentant une urne de vote blanche et orange. En haut à droite, sur fond bleu marine, la date : 3 Avril 2022 en texte blanc et orange. La photographie centrale montre l'intérieur d'un bureau de vote serbe. La scène est animée : plusieurs électeurs font la queue ou s'apprêtent à voter. Au premier plan, une femme portant un masque chirurgical bleu dépose son bulletin dans une urne transparente posée sur une table, derrière laquelle est assise une assesseure également masquée. D'autres électeurs, hommes et femmes d'âge mûr, attendent ou utilisent des isoloirs blancs disposés le long du mur. En arrière-plan, le drapeau serbe — bleu, blanc et rouge — est accroché au mur. À droite, une grande affiche de campagne électorale en cyrillique affiche le slogan «ЗАЈЕДНО МОЖЕМО СВЕ» (« Ensemble nous pouvons tout ») signé Aleksandar Vučić, avec son portrait en costume sombre. La mention « Predsednički izbori 2022 » (Élection présidentielle 2022) est visible sous le slogan. Il s'agit de l'élection présidentielle serbe du 3 avril 2022, remportée par Aleksandar Vučić au premier tour.

On croyait le régime de Vucic intouchable après sa victoire de 2022 en Serbie. Mais la corruption a un prix : le drame de Novi Sad en 2024 a brisé l'illusion de la stabilité. En 2026, la contestation gagne les bastions du pouvoir. L'hégémonie se fissure. Lien dans la bio 👉 #Serbie #Balkans #Europe

Here is a #Bora or #Bura wind explanation. It is basically a north to northeast katabatic or downsloping wind due to cold air from the #Balkans descending the Dinaric Alps to the Adriatic Sea. The current round of Bora winds is courtesy of Storm #Erminio.

Phoenike, 5th c. B.C., modern Albania

It was the wealthiest city in Epirus and had the strongest walls until the Roman conquest. It was the location of the Treaty of Phoenice which ended the First Macedonian War.

Citizens in #NorthMacedonia 🇲🇰 consume media during election campaigns less than 2.5 days/week on average — among the lowest in the @cses.bsky.social Dec 2025 advanced release. Surprising? Perhaps not, given the broader disillusionment with party politics in the country.
#Polisky #PoliSci #Balkans

Who should govern #NorthMacedonia? @cses.bsky.social data points to a preference for non-politicians: 🇲🇰 tops the Dec 2025 advanced release in citizens favoring businesspeople and experts over party politics. That speaks volumes about democratic quality in the country.

Most of the region stands still (in terms of regime category change between 2024 and 2025), but where it moves, it moves toward autocracy — clearly mirroring the global outlook.

🇭🇷 Croatia's President Milanović on Serbia's Chinese hypersonic missiles + Russian EW systems:
"It's offensive weaponry. That concerns me." + "Israel is the systems integrator making it all work."

Called out his own govt for buying tanks instead of air defense

#Serbia #Croatia #Balkans #geopolitics

Serbia has Chinese hypersonic missiles, Russian EW — and Israel to make them work together.
Croatia's own president said it out loud.
His government called it "treason." He called it Tuesday.

A Cold War-era Yugoslav pipeline built in the 1960s is suddenly one of Europe's most strategic energy assets.

The Adria pipeline (JANAF) — designed by Tito to make Yugoslavia an East-West energy hub sat dormant for decades.

Geopolitics just woke it up.
