    Not talking about the Student List. Talking about other opportunists with guns seeing a floundering country. I honestly don’t know enough about the situation, but where does the military stand?

      Talking about other opportunists with guns seeing a floundering country.

      It’s not floundering though, is what I’m trying to say. Things need to get very far from normalcy before taking power by military force becomes a realistic move a group can take (since you need to convince the troops on the ground and their officers to do so), and that didn’t happen in Serbia. You can see that by how Vuvic admitted defeat right away instead of digging in his heels and looking for ways to stay in power; the on-paper system gave its verdict and for the most part that is it.

      but where does the military stand?

      I haven’t seen anything about the military being a relevant actor.
