Vučić on RTS, talking about Hungary's new leadership — exactly what he always is, a mix of pragmatism, statistics, and controlled drama. The incident numbers for Vojvodina are interesting: from 850-900 per year, they fell to around 30 under Orbán. Whether you believe them or not, the difference is dramatic.

"I'll extend my hand, but I won't allow humiliation", Vučić said of the new Hungarian leader. This is the line every Balkan leader delivers before every tough negotiation — and it usually means the situation is more complicated than they're willing to admit.

On the energy front, talks with MOL are ongoing, and licensing is expected on April 17. Fuel prices are rising — no surprise to anyone on the Balkans, where the price of gas is a topic of conversation as constant as the weather. But behind the price hikes are concrete geopolitical shifts, not just market fluctuations.

The most interesting part is about robots. Vučić announced Serbia will be among the rare European countries producing humanoid robots by June. Reality or ambition — we'll find out in two months. On the Balkans, promises have an expiration date — and that date is usually the next election.

On the Venice Commission and ODIHR recommendations — Vučić pledged compliance. This phrase is heard regularly, but implementation has always been a different story. Will this time be different? On the Balkans, optimism is a luxury, and skepticism — a habit.
