Regional observers assess future Serbian policy and ties with Montenegro following elections

Regional figures evaluate the trajectory of Serbian governance and bilateral ties with Montenegro following recent political changes.
Political commentators and regional leaders continue to evaluate the potential trajectory of Serbian foreign policy following recent electoral shifts. Speaking at an event in Cetinje, former Montenegrin President Milo Đukanović stated that a key question facing Belgrade is whether its next administration will focus on domestic governance or seek to influence Serb populations across the region. Đukanović noted that restoring bilateral relations with Montenegro remains an urgent priority.
Separately, Dejan Šoškić, highlighted as a potential candidate for the Serbian premiership, suggested that political transition offers Serbia an opportunity to serve as a stabilizing force in regional affairs.
Meanwhile, unresolved diplomatic and press freedom concerns remain prominent. A entry ban issued by Serbian authorities against Željko Ivanović, founder of Montenegro's Vijesti media group, remains in effect ahead of a scheduled media event in Belgrade.
