In episode 40 of the Actualitica Podcast, the guest is the renowned Serbian political scientist, a permanent associate of the Austrian Institute for International Affairs in Vienna, co-founder of the European Future Initiative (EFI), and former advisor to Serbian Prime Ministers Zoran Đinđić and Zoran Živković, Ivan Vejvoda. The podcast topics include the political situation in Serbia, the region, and geopolitics as a whole.

Have people from the former Yugoslavia “taken over” Vienna? How does he view Zoran Đinđić and his era in retrospect? What would Serbia look like today if the legendary prime minister had lived? Who was behind Đinđić’s assassination? To what extent has Aleksandar Vučić changed over the past decade compared to his time in the Serbian Radical Party? Has Vučić’s regime become outdated and permanently lost public support after the brutal repression of student and civic protests? Which Serbian opposition politicians or parties have a chance of defeating Vučić? Is the only solution a broad opposition coalition ranging from the far left to the right?

Why has the Kosovo issue still not been resolved? What is the best solution for Kosovo? Should the Association of Serb-Majority Municipalities (ZSO) be established, and what powers should it have? Is a territorial exchange between Serbia and Kosovo possible? These and other questions are answered by our distinguished guest. Worth watching! Editor and host: Matija Šerić.
