Orban barely fell in Budapest and Belgrade is already counting - not victims, but enemies. Serbian politician Đukanović steps out with a warning that sounds like a military briefing: all resources of "left-liberal pro-Soros NGOs" will now relocate to Serbia. The struggle, he says, will be "epic."

And of course, if you view this from Belgrade, the picture looks alarming. European "democrats", according to Đukanović, have already assembled a hit list - Vučić, Fico, Meloni, Erdogan. Those who don't play by Brussels' notes. Is this paranoia or reality? Honestly, in the Balkans it's hard to tell, because both have a habit of coming true.

But let's be fair - "defense of traditional values" is a phrase used in the Balkans as a universal shield. Behind it can stand anything - from legitimate concerns about sovereignty to ordinary eyes-closed corruption. The question isn't whether Serbia will be under pressure - that's certain. The question is whether that pressure comes from outside or has long been growing from within.

For us in the Balkans this isn't a new story. Every time a "strong leader" falls in the region, the rest start getting nervous. Orban wasn't just a Hungarian prime minister - he was a symbol of an entire political philosophy. His fall is a crack in the wall, and cracks have a habit of spreading.

Should Vučić worry? Probably. But not because of Soros or NGOs - but because the political wind in Europe is shifting right, and those who don't adapt end up in history textbooks.
