Regional figures assess Serbia's foreign policy trajectory and Montenegro relations amid leadership transitions and lingering entry bans.

Regional political commentators and figures are assessing the trajectory of Serbian governance and regional diplomacy following recent electoral shifts. In Cetinje, former Montenegrin President Milo Đukanović questioned whether the next administration in Belgrade will focus on domestic matters or attempt to govern Serbs across the broader region, emphasizing that rebuilding ties with Montenegro remains vital.

Concurrently, Dejan Šoškić, a potential contender for the Serbian premiership, argued that the political transition presents an opportunity for Serbia to become a source of stability and cooperation. Meanwhile, unresolved diplomatic and press freedom issues persist. A travel ban imposed last year on Željko Ivanović, founder of Montenegro's Vijesti media group, remains active ahead of a scheduled media conference in Belgrade.
