There’s no covert campaign capable of producing this scale of protests. This is an organic groundswell.

Trump Jr. asked Vucic if a canopy collapse that set off mass protests in Serbia was "weaponized, perhaps like our January 6," (Vucic concurred) and witlessly agreed as Vucic offered a nationalist version of the events leading to the '99 NATO bombing of Serbia. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/serbia-hungary-vucic-orban-usaid-trump-musk/

this isn't new for vucic, you realize. like, this has been the playbook for him & dodik for years. I know multiple orgs that got usaid/oti funding that were vilified as "foreign agents" in bih & serbia, long before trump or musk entered the picture.

What's new is that he's currently facing massive protests and is now able to pick on us US talking points about USAID as part of an effort to suppress dissent.
