I mean, it's commendable and all, but ultimately it's just gonna succumb to compromise and politcking. A similar situation happened in Montenegro. There it was right wing clericalists vs. a western backed neolib government (I know, the balkans are fucking weird), and in the end, the western backed dictator is casually enjoying life outside of jail like nothing ever happened. Same thing is gonna happen here, except maybe Vucic will get 5 years in prison (10 max), and everyone will accept the compromise just to get rid of him. Ultimately not much will change, although people might finally be exposed to a capitalist system which cannot justify itself being bad just by being "crony".

Edit - Another thing I didn't mention: This declaration was literally just preceded by some liberal moron professor calling a handful of leftist students the "Khmer Rouge" and being associated with a marginal leftist party in Serbia, which itself he alleges is being financed by the CPC (even though he doesn't provide any evidence for these claims whatsoever). He made these claims alongside accusations of this "minority" of students "sabotaging" the "majority" from voting to participate in the elections. Did I mention he considers it a bad thing that the students are anti-NATO? (like they didn't literally bomb the country, how could they possibly dislike them?). Because this request for the elections is gonna be accompanied by a list comprised of professors chosen by their students, there's a decent chance this fucking charlatan makes it on the list of those 250 professors. Makes me scared of the possibility these professors might be majority pro-EU, which doesn't bode well for the geopolitics of the country, especially not at this fucking moment.
