The overlooked, most important factor in the Democratic midterm tsunami: the much-maligned, US Two-Party System. In Hungary and Serbia, it took improbable mass movements to put the brakes on autocrats; it took only 1 mid-term election cycle in the US, under 1 opposition banner.

Spectacular -- in more ways than one -- election day vista. Wonderful to join TRT World Anchor Selena Downes and Institute of World Politics SR/VP Christine Balling in breaking down the implications for US foreign policy.

What a wonderful experience -- and intellectual challenge -- to join the estimable Veton Surroi on his television show to discuss US and EU policy in the Balkans: youtube.com/watch?v=ya4jnT9_…

The stunning majority victory of the Student List in Serbia’s parliamentary elections on Oct. 25 was a vital reprieve for a beleaguered continent. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/26…

Glad to see the remarkable Serbian Student List triumph in Parliamentary elections gain attention. Serbia -- and the US and EU -- have a seminal opportunity, if the transition to a government grounded in rule of law is successful. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/26…

Serbia's stunning, student-led Parliamentary election victory is a lesson for France, Italy and all of Europe. My comments on TRT World: youtube.com/watch?v=MRacF51C…

The 15 March 2025 anti-government protest: "the largest protest ever" held in Belgrade. (Largest gathering in Belgrade since the end of WWII.) bbc.com/news/articles/cx2g8v…
Massive turnout yesterday evening supporting the Students List prior to Sunday’s election in 🇷🇸. But it’s not yet of the size that brought down Milosevic once upon a time.

An honor to be among the first Americans -- following Senators Durbin and Shaheen and US Embassy official -- to meet H.E. Justina Shiroka-Pula, the newly-elected President of the Republic of Kosovo.

Proof that Europe sees vital interests at stake in the war with Iran -- no matter who started it. The center of gravity remains Strait of Hormuz and, as I explain in IPQ, France/UK can make the difference: nytimes.com/2026/09/24/world… ip-quarterly.com/en/how-euro…
Wonderful to see my IPQ article 'How Europe Can Turn the Tide in Iran' reposted by both Real Clear World and Real Clear Defense.'

Breaking: All 4 Kosovo defendants, including ex-President Thaci, found guilty in Hague Special Chambers verdict. After Serbia's glorification of Ratko Mladic, this verdict will resound with double the negative intensity in Kosovo and region. balkaninsight.com/2026/09/16…

Probing questions from CNN A2 Albania on Russia's war in Ukraine -- and the fallout in the Balkans. What is the impact on Serbia, particularly after the Mladic funeral? Thank you, Rosalba Bejdo, for the interview! youtube.com/watch?v=-mKB8vZ5…
