Batten down your mental hatches and toss your ordinary expectations overboard as we sail into the turbulent waters of Serbian politics.

The protagonists of this political drama are Vucic's unwavering Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and a pro-Western opposition alliance determined to shake the populist tree, which has been standing unyielding since 2012.
