"Serbia's Election Unrest: Hunger Strikes, Blockades, and Clashes Amidst Russian Influence Concerns"

In Serbia, opposition lawmaker Marinika Tepic continues her hunger strike, now 11 days in, to protest the fairness of recent national and local elections, which she and her Serbia Against Violence (SPN) alliance claim were fraudulent. The protests have been ongoing since President Aleksandar Vucic's ruling party declared landslide victories. International observers from the OSCE reported the elections were conducted under "unjust conditions." The opposition is demanding nullification of the results and an international review, with new elections within six months. Meanwhile, Vucic maintains the elections were fair, despite allegations of voter fraud and improper voting practices.
