If the US election were held in Trump would most likely become the next president.
Public opinion polls done by media and research groups show that the majority of Serbians support the Republican candidate.
Political observers believe the most probable reasons for this could be Trump’s stances on , Serbia’s former territory, whose independence Serbia never recognized.
Experts say that Serbians believe Trump would be more considerate when it comes to Serbia’s position regarding Kosovo.
In 2020, Serbia and Kosovo signed the so-called “Kosovo and Serbia economic normalization agreements,” informally known as the Washington Agreement, under the Trump administration.
Under a new Trump administration, Serbia might be able to get something out of normalizing ties with Kosovo, experts believe, such as economic concessions or measures to protect the Serbian minority in Kosovo.
Trump’s warm ties with , a traditional Serbian ally, could also play a part.
However, perhaps the biggest reason why people in Serbia do not support Democratic candidates in the US in general is the vivid memory of the NATO bombardment of Serbia back in 1999. Former US President Bill Clinton, who was in power during NATO’s military campaign against Serbia, was notably a Democrat.
