According to Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic’s statement from Nov. 9, all the elections so far show that Serbia is all but a divided society.

 According to her, there is a “huge” majority of Serbian citizens who “keep quiet, work and try to create something,” but that there is a “huge, extremely loud, powerful and rich minority with a large number of media outlets, which creates so much noise that it seems that the country is divided.”

“Serbia is far from a divided society, it’s all but a divided society. The U.S. is an example of a divided society, and you don’t have that in Serbia,” the prime minister told the Happy TV.

Commenting on the opposition’s dissatisfaction with Serbia’s current media scene, she said that “[today], as opposed to the period when these parties were in power and when there was no media pluralism, a lot more media outlets, in the most brutal way, criticize [Serbia’s] President Aleksandar Vucic.”
