The (far) right in Serbia
In Serbia, most of the political space is based on the right-wing spectrum, with rare exceptions. Although at the moment it seems that the right is in decline and that democratic, green and left-wing political organisations are strengthening, this is only an appearance. What has been clear in Serbia for three decades is that what seems overcome, inactive or impossible today could be knocking at the door tomorrow.
