Serbian President's Pre-Election Letter to Pensioners Raises Abuse Concerns

Ahead of announced elections, Serbian President Vučić again sent letters to pensioners and socially vulnerable individuals, but this time postal workers are reportedly asking recipients for something in return. The opposition alleges politically motivated abuse tied to the electoral cycle, though details of the quid pro quo remain unclear. This follows an established pattern of pre-election outreach, but the new element of postmen requesting something in return marks a deviation that could escalate political tensions.
