Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets tend to emphasize the political control and dominance of Aleksandar Vučić and the SNS, often critiquing the suppression of opposition and the portrayal of stability as a means to maintain power. They may highlight concerns about democratic backsliding and question the legitimacy of the elections and the narrative of popular support.
Center: Center-leaning sources report the statements of Petar Petković and the election results factually, focusing on the expressed desire of the people for stability, progress, and prosperity. They present the support for Vučić and SNS as a reflection of current political realities without strong editorializing, noting the importance of local elections and political stability.
Right: Right-leaning media emphasize the positive aspects of Vučić’s leadership and the SNS’s role in maintaining order, progress, and national unity. They highlight Petković’s message as a strong endorsement of Vučić’s policies and the people’s rejection of chaos, blockades, and opposition protests, portraying the elections as a clear mandate for continued governance.
