Another thread on Serbia, based on my new @Carnegie_Europe paper

Serbia has entered a new political era after 2 years of mass protests,the student-led movement has won power.But removing an autocrat is easier than dismantling the system that sustained him. Real test starts now.

Post-Vučić Serbia:

- Rule of law gains, as SNS clientelist networks come under pressure.

- The new majority might prove fragile, giving Vučić chances to rebuild some support.

The neat boundary with Bulgarian/Macedonian is obviously debatable, to say the least. The dialect of Vranje or Pirot is close to Kumanovo or Tran. Ditto Prizren/Gora - Tetovo.

Can someone explain to me why the Eastern Herzegovinian dialect became the standard for every serbo-croatian language when it isn't native to the biggest cities of the region? Genuinely asking am I missing something? Was it a compromise or was it actually just the elite dialect?
