#Serbia is organizing parliamentary elections on October 25th. These elections could be the most consequential in a generation. I highly recommend watching Talk Eastern Europe's interview with Nikola Ristić - one of the 1st activists to organize after the Novi Sad tragedy. youtu.be/P2svouL3SUM?...

This only convinces me more that Russians are planning an attack against a European country. They will actively deny it up until and even after the fact.
